Can take levocetrizine, conservative treatment will help
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
She can take levocetrizine safely while breastfeeding.
With recommended dose of levocetrizine,only little amount of medicine reached in the milk and that will not cause any harm to the baby.
In adults conservative treatment like warm saline gargle, steam inhalation, paracetamol for fever with antiallergic like levocetrizine is sufficient in most of the cases.
If cough is severe, she may need cough syrup containing mucolytic with dextromethorphan like Ambrodil D or Ascoril D helps. Antibiotic may also be needed in severe cases after consultation with physician.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to ask if you have any more doubts.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
You can give levocetrizine 5 mg once a day and dolo(paracetamol)650 for fever. Paracetamol 650 can be given 3 times a day.
There will not be any significant harm to the baby with this dose and the dose given to baby can be continued as same.
