Question : I have a one month old baby and am breastfeeding her exclusively. I have been having some cold and cough and wanted to enquire which medicines can I take safely without harming my baby.
Can I take some cough syrup safely?

Hi

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

You can take paracetamol, cetrizine and grilinctus cough syrup for the cough and cold.

This will not harm your baby.

Try to avoid antibiotics.
