How to handle a cold and cough that haven't improved after about a week

Patient's question:

I've had a cold and cough for about a week and it's still not fully gone. Even after taking medicine and getting IV fluids, the coughing is still severe. There's yellow phlegm, I can't sleep well at night due to coughing, and I also cough during the day. The coughing causes a stinging sensation in my throat. Digestive symptoms: Besides nasal congestion, I feel cold but don't have a fever.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, this situation may also result in pregnancy, as a painless abortion can also lead to complete restoration of menstruation. It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse within 42 days after the abortion to prevent interference with the uterus's complete recovery, which may cause endometrial inflammation. Pay close attention to hygiene and change your underwear and clothes frequently to avoid bacterial contamination. Digestive inquiry: Hello, is there currently vaginal bleeding?
