Is there a medication I can take for colds and sore throats when I am breastfeeding?

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

Your best solution is nasal hygiene with saline water, such as Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse among others. These products can be used as often as desired during the day and help with congestion, discharge, and even coughing

You can also use lozenges like Fisherman's Friend for local throat relief, this line is safe during pregnancy

I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Tom Samaha, pharmacist

We'd love to!
