Specializes in Pediatrics

Breastfeeding: If breastfeeding, most mothers have the good sense to avoid cold medicines when possible. Some non medication ideas for sore throat and congestion are a teaspoon of honey for throat pain (do not give to baby!) hot tea (herbal or decaf), and sitting in a steamy bathroom.
