Suggest A Medicine For Runny Nose And Cold While Breastfeeding
Hello Doctor,
I'm 31 yrs old. I gave birth to a male baby 3 months back(C-Section). I'm breast feeding the baby. No other food is given to baby till now. Yesterday onwards I got severe cold, runny nose, sneezing. I want to immediately stop running nose & sneezing. I'm scared whether my baby will be affected. I've taken one Avil 25mg tablet in the morning. Till now no symptoms of relief. PLease suggest me a medicine for runny nose & cold while breastfeeding. Also suggest me some healthy diet to develop immunity.
Thanks!
Vani.
