Hi! i'm breast feeding and have developed a nasty phlegmy cough - chest feels tight what can i take ?

Breastfeeding &cough: As you are already aware, taking medications while breastfeeding may adversely affect your baby. Start by increasing your fluid intake. Should the cough get worse, consult your ob, the baby's pediatrician and your primary care provider should medication be necessary.
