Can i take alka-zelter plus for cold and cough while breastfeeding? if not what can i take for persistent dry cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: according to my reference Epocrates. Robitussin (guaifenesin) would be OK to take for your cough. A better choice may be to go see your primary care to see why you have a persistent dry cough.
