A member asked:

My wife has fever and she give breast feeding to my child(1yr old) and he don't take the bottle, i want to know which medicine i can give her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tylenol/Ibuprofen: She can take tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen for her fever. She can also take homeopathic belladonna. Elderberry and vit d can help if she has flu like symptoms as well. Drink plenty of fluids, chicken soup...And the baby will be fine as her milk will pass on antibodies to protect the child.
