Hi. my wife is breastfeeding. is it safe for her her to take ibuprofen when she has a fever? thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ibuprofen: levels in breast milk are exceedingly low, and this medication is frequently prescribed for pain or fever relief in nursing mothers. Acetominophen (Tylenol) is another option.
