I consumed duro-tuss cough syrup & breastfed my 1 year old. will it cause any health affecting damage to my baby? i didnt know & am worried.

Mgt: I would advise limiting the use of medications while breast feeding. To relieve cold symptoms, use nasal saline and throat lozenges instead. Drink fluids and stay well rested. If you develop a prolonged cough, produce sputum for more than one week, please see your PCP.
