The virus infected by a breastfeeding cold can be brought to the baby through breast milk and cause discomfort to the baby, so the choice of medicine for a breastfeeding cold should be careful. If a breastfeeding woman has a mild cold, the symptoms can be relieved by taking proper rest, keeping warm, drinking enough water and eating a light diet. A normal cough or a slight green phlegm does not need special treatment, and honey can be consumed to relieve the cough. If you have a stuffy and runny nose, you can wash your nose with saline to clear it. If you feel a sore throat and fever, you need to remove the inflammation at this time, you can take acetaminophen to reduce the inflammation and fever. If the sore throat feeling is particularly strong, and accompanied by fever and rapid heartbeat, it is best to go to the hospital to rule out streptococcal infection. In addition, Chinese patent medicine preparations such as Banlangen Punch and Cold and Fever Punch are not recommended for their therapeutic effects and their toxic side effects are unknown. Women who are breastfeeding with a cold do not have to worry too much about bringing the virus to the baby at this time, as the antibodies in breast milk will be passed to the baby through the milk, increasing the baby’s resistance. Breastfeeding women should wash their hands regularly, wear a mask, take precautions and avoid excessive oral and nasal contact with their babies.
