Brief Answer:
Cetzine / Cetrizine and Karvol plus...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The picture you sent wasn't clear. But it looks like the doctor has prescribed couple of medicines.
1. Tab cetzine or cetrizine. This is an antihistamine drug and quite safe during pregnancy as well as breast feeding mom.
2. Karvol plus. This is available as a capsule. The contents of this capsule should be added to warm water and the vapors are inhaled (steam inhalation).
Both the medicines as I mentioned is quite safe during breast feeding.
Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications
