It has been found that all antibiotics are safe to take during breastfeeding children. Cough syrups containing codeine are also safe for mothers to take before bedtime if the children are not newborns. They can also use dextromethorphan if they are having problems sleeping.
Instead of taking long-term medications once a day, short-term medications are more preferable, and they should be taken just after breastfeeding. They can be taken three to four times a day, and a patient can try using single-ingredient types of medicine, such as decongestants and antihistamines, before going for combinations.
Practicing home remedies, such as steam clean and nose hose, is also very effective. The clogged breathing passages can be opened up by inhaling steam from facial steamers for twenty minutes at a stretch. A drop of eucalyptus oil might enhance the effect to a greater extent. The counter saline nasal spray can be used several times a day to open up a stuffy nose.
