Brief Answer: nothing happens to your baby.. Detailed Answer: Hi, Welcome to Healthcare Magic, IMOL plus is a pain killer combination of Paracetamol+ ibuprofen. You haven't mentioned about any itching or red bumps along with swelling of your eyes.If it is so..its due to allergy by the tablet. Nothing happens to your baby, because it is secreted in very minimal amount in breast milk. More over its a commonly prescribed anti-pyretic combination for kids too. Regards, Dr XXXXXXX
