Are Homeopathic Medications Safe To Take While Breastfeeding?
Hello. Hope all is well. I am fighting a cold and am exclusively breastfeeding my 10 week old son. I haven t taken any medication but the worst part about it is my ear. It feels very clogged. I bought some ear drops. They are homeopathic with the ingredients being Chamomilla 10X, Mercurius solubillis 15X and Sulphur 12X. Is this safe to take while breastfeeding? I d sure appreciate any help. Thank you so much.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would request you to discontinue those medications to be on a safe side. You need to take steam inhalation 4 times a day. Use betadine mouthwash twice a day and drink lots of fluids at least 3.5 litres a day. You shall be fine. Take care of your child.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
