Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Yes, you can take antibiotics (Cap Augmentin DUO) and antihistaminic (levocetirizine), these are safe during breastfeeding.

As these are prescription drugs, you have to take a prescription for the same.

Steam inhalation with Karvol plus is also very effective.

Drink a lot of warm water as well, avoid cold drinks.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards,
Dr. Richa Agarwal, OBGYN
