A member asked:
Is there any cough medicine for women who are still breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few ideas for you: You can take a product with dextromethorphan if you need to, but don't ignore simple remedies like a couple teaspoon of honey, throat lozenges. If your cough is quite bad, you have fever or chest pain, or if you have any difficulty breathing, you should see your doctor.
