A member asked:
Which type of nasal decongestant/ cough suppressant can i take while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Suggestions: Sudafed and afrin are safe decongestants, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and nasal steroids ok for allergy symptoms. Honey is a good cough suppressant. Oral steroids for severe allergy symptoms or oral narcotics for severe cough are ok. Best to clear any meds with OB or pediatrician.
