I have been experiencing a persistent cough since my C-section delivery, and neither home remedies nor my previous medicines have helped. Is this harmful, and what medicine should I take for this cough?

Asked by Female, 30 · 6 hours ago

A persistent cough after a C-section can be harmful because the physical strain of coughing puts pressure on your abdominal incision, risking pain or complications with your stitches. It can also indicate postpartum issues like a respiratory infection or fluid retention. You should not self-medicate, especially if you are breastfeeding, as many over-the-counter medications can pass into breast milk. Please consult your OB/GYN or doctor immediately. They need to evaluate your lungs and incision, and can safely prescribe appropriate, breastfeeding-friendly treatments to help relieve your cough.
