A member asked:
My breastfeeding wife has a nagging cough,what medication is safe for her to take that wont negatively affect milk supply or baba?thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Source of the cough: Your wife can use regular dextromethorphan without codeine over the counter, however, first she needs to see a MD to find out why she has a nagging cough to begin with. Not every cough is an infection, but can be a irritation by excessive mucous or from an enlarged thyroid gland.
