A member asked:
I am a breast feed mother i have cold can i take antibiotic during breast feeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The general rule is if i would use it for a baby it is ok for use in a breast feeding mother. We exclude sulfa drugs in the first 2 months and drugs like Cipro (ciprofloxacin) that are not generally used in childhood.Just tell the doc you are breastfeeding and they should sort that out, or ask again when you know which one is being considered.
