Having Cold After Undergoing LEEP Procedure. Can I Take Over The Counter Medicine And Honey?

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,yes you can use over the counter cold medicines or antiallergics for some symptom relief, but most have some side effects like sedation.
If a cough lasts after your other cold symptoms have resolved, see your doctor. In the meantime, try soothing your throat with warm lemon water and honey.
