Patient's question:
My wife has recently caught a cold, but mainly because she hasn't been postpartum for more than a few months and her symptoms are quite severe, she needs to take medication. I want to consult a doctor: if she has a cold and cough with high fever after 4.5 months of postpartum and is taking medication, can she not use contraception during this period?Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's current symptoms, it is very likely to be a manifestation of a respiratory infection, which is generally caused by bacterial or viral infections. This condition may be contagious to some extent, so breastfeeding is not recommended. Additionally, we are not very clear about the patient's medication history, and some medications are also not recommended during breastfeeding. Therefore, it is better to consult the prescribing doctor for more detailed information.
