Can I breastfeed if I have rhinitis?

The quality of breast milk is closely related to the physical health of the mother. If the mother has cold symptoms or other diseases, it is not appropriate to continue breastfeeding, otherwise these diseases will be directly transmitted to the baby's body through breast milk. Rhinitis is a very difficult disease to cure, so when a mother suffers from rhinitis, she must use medication in time. But can she continue to breastfeed during rhinitis?

Rhinitis during breastfeeding should be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect both the body and mind. However, many mothers will breastfeed their babies during breastfeeding, worried that it will affect the baby's health. As for whether breastfeeding is allowed, it depends on the mother's treatment condition. If the condition is serious, medication, especially Western medicine, is needed to help treat it. At this time, do not breastfeed the baby, because the ingredients in the medication may enter the baby's body through breast milk, which is not good for the baby's health and affects its growth and development.

Generally, if you suffer from rhinitis during breastfeeding, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. The doctor will choose the treatment method according to the woman's condition. If the condition is relatively mild, you don't need to use medication. You can use saline to clean the nasal cavity every day, which is safe and has no side effects. In this case, you can breastfeed your baby. If you use anti-inflammatory drugs, you cannot breastfeed, especially oral medications.

There are many treatments for rhinitis during lactation. If women want to breastfeed their babies, they can choose methods that do not require oral medication. There is fumigation, which directly fumigates the patient's nasal cavity with magnetized fumigation steam, which can effectively relieve rhinitis. You can also use hot water to fumigate the nose, apply the nose, and massage. You can use two fingers to massage the acupoints for a few minutes to treat it.

From the above, we know that whether breastfeeding is possible with rhinitis during lactation depends on the mother's condition and treatment method. If the condition is more serious, oral anti-inflammatory drugs may be needed. Do not breastfeed the baby at this time, as it will affect healthy development. If the nasal cavity is cleaned with salt water, or the nose is fumigated with hot water, etc., the baby can be breastfed.
