Painkillers should be avoided as much as possible during breastfeeding, as some of the ingredients of the medication can enter the breast milk and affect the baby’s health. If you have to take them, you should stop breastfeeding.
Painkillers need to be metabolized by the liver after taking them, and after the metabolites enter the bloodstream, they can enter the breast milk of breastfeeding women. When painkillers are taken during breastfeeding, the metabolites of the drug will enter the baby’s body with the breast milk, thus affecting the normal growth and development of the baby.
If you have a headache, backache, toothache and other symptoms during breastfeeding, it is not recommended to take painkillers on your own, you should go to a regular hospital, get a clear diagnosis, and cooperate with the doctor to standardize the treatment. If you have to take painkillers, you should stop breastfeeding during the medication period.
Breastfeeding should pay more attention to avoid abusing drugs.
