Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service...
Yes, you can take the Levocetirizine 5mg while breastfeeding...Although some amount of the drug can get into the breastmilk, it's a minimal amount hence negligible...
Additionally, you can apply soothing aloe-vera lotion all over the body, avoid direct sunlight exposure and take cold water shower for quick relief...
However, despite this, if the itching and redness persist/worsen further, then please get it checked out once by any nearby physician for further evaluation...
Take Care
Kind Regards
