If the lying-in woman catches a cold during confinement, she can take medicine. Only by taking medicine on time according to the doctor's advice can the cold get better faster without affecting her physical recovery and baby feeding. Maternal women can choose some cold medicines with less ingredients in Chinese patent medicines, such as Ganmao Granules, Shuanghuanglian, Banlangen and Vitamin C Yinqiao Tablets, which are safer and have little influence on breast milk. If you have a bad cold, you need to listen to your doctor's antibiotics.
Reminder: During the period of maternal cold, it is not appropriate to breast-feed the baby with or without taking medicine, so as not to infect the baby. Remember to squeeze out the milk when you are not feeding, so as to ensure the continuous secretion of milk, and you can continue to feed after you have recovered from a cold.
How long can I breastfeed after taking medicine for a cold in confinement? After taking the medicine for 48 hours, you can breastfeed.
If the mother feeds during taking the medicine, the medicine will be absorbed by the baby through blood circulation, which is not good for the baby's health. Therefore, breastfeeding should be suspended during medication. Wait until 48 hours after stopping the drug before resuming breastfeeding. During this period, the mother should drink plenty of water so that the drug components in the body can be excreted as soon as possible. At the same time, you need to wear a mask when you resume breastfeeding your baby within a period of time after the cold has just recovered, so as to avoid repeated transmission of the cold to your baby.
What should I do if I catch a cold in confinement? 1, mild cold
Manifestations: runny nose, sneezing.
Maternal women should pay attention to these symptoms when they first appear. They can drink more boiled water and supplement some vitamins. You can also drink a bowl of chicken soup every meal to relieve symptoms such as stuffy nose and runny nose when you have a cold, and drinking chicken soup can also supplement the energy consumed by new mothers during childbirth.
2. Great cold
If a slight cold is not stopped, it can easily develop into a serious cold. Symptoms of a bad cold: dizziness, weakness of limbs, stuffy nose, cough and fever.
At this time, the mother should not touch the baby again, so as not to infect the baby, and at the same time, she should be treated with drugs. In the case of low fever, you can take some Chinese patent medicines with single curative effect and less side effects, such as Banlangen granules, loquat syrup and other mild cold medicines. If you have a high fever, you may need infusion or medicine, but you must be treated by a doctor and don't take medicine indiscriminately. Within 8 hours of taking medicine or infusion, you should avoid breastfeeding your baby to prevent drugs from having a negative impact on your baby through breast milk. During this period, you can give your baby the right amount of milk powder.
