Can OTC Cold Medication Be Taken After Going Through LEEP Procedure?
Hi, I am 6 days removed from a LEEP procedure. According to my doctor, is was a minor one at that. I caught a cold from my son though, and I was wondering if it is ok to take over the counter Cold Medicine. I am treating the internal health with Manuka Honey. Which is extremely effective.

Hi
Welcome to health care magic.
LEEP procedure is not a contraindication for using cold medications; using honey as a home remedy is also ok.
If you have any problem in getting relief in the symptoms then you can use saline gargles thrice a day for throat discomfort.
If you become sick or increase in the symptoms then you should review to your general practitioner as soon as possible
I hope that wife will be helpful for you.

Yes, it is safe to take cold medicine as it does not have any component which will affect healing of the wound.
