Can OTC Medication For Cold Be Taken For Cold After 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, Thanks for using HCM.

LEEP is a minor procedure You can fallow the instruction from your treating doctor.
For common cold nasal decongestant and anti histamines can be taken, these medications are not going to affect your procedure.
If you get cough, that needs to be treated immediately. As coughing is going to increase abdominal pressure and affects healing of procedure.Consult your doctor.

Hope this helps you.
