A member asked:
I'm currently breastfeeding and i have flu/sinus symptoms. mainly a cough, sore throat and headache. what are the recommended meds for me to take. thank you?

You can take Tylenol or ibuprofen safely for the headache. The remaining symptoms are best treated with humidity, fluids and nasal rinsing. Any medication to dry up your sinuses could dry up your milk as well, so you must be careful or your milk supply could be affected.
