If you ask breastfeeding mothers what they worry about most, the first thing is illness. If I take the medicine, I am worried that the medicine will be injected into the baby's body along with the breast milk, causing serious harm to the baby; but if I don't take the medicine, I don't know when the hateful disease will go away. If I keep in contact with the baby for a long time with the disease, I am also worried that the disease will be transmitted to the baby. There is really no way! Can I breastfeed if I have a cold during lactation? Some breastfeeding mothers, for the sake of their baby's health, are afraid to breastfeed their babies if they have a cold or fever. Are colds and fevers really so terrible that they have to cut off their baby's food supply? In fact, you can continue breastfeeding if you catch a cold during breastfeeding. The most common symptoms of colds and fevers among breastfeeding mothers are fever, sneezing, runny nose, cough, and sore throat. Generally speaking, influenza virus is not easily spread through breastfeeding, but only through air droplets. Therefore, when the mother has a fever, the environment where the baby lives has already been polluted. Breast milk can produce antibodies on its own, which helps the baby resist diseases. However, if a breastfeeding mother has a fever, she can stop breastfeeding for one or two days. Therefore, mothers who are breastfeeding do not need to worry too much if they catch a cold or fever. Just don't think too much and breastfeed your baby. Can I take medicine for a cold while breastfeeding? Many breastfeeding mothers are afraid to take medicine when they catch a cold or fever. If they take medicine, they are worried that when they breastfeed their babies, the ingredients in the medicine will enter the baby's body through breast milk and affect the baby's normal growth and development. However, if the medicine is not taken, the flu virus will confuse mothers for a long time, which is really a dilemma. Can I take medicine for a cold while breastfeeding? If the symptoms of a cold are so severe that you have to take medicine to relieve them, you need to take the medicine appropriately according to the doctor's advice. Mothers who are breastfeeding must remember to seek symptomatic treatment to get the flu virus out of the house as soon as possible. If a breastfeeding mother has a fever, cold, and inflammation and needs to be treated with antibiotics, it is recommended not to blindly use antibiotics on your own. You can consult a professional doctor and buy antibiotics according to the doctor's instructions. |
