Can I take a cold/sinus product while breastfeeding?

It is not recommended to take cold/sinus medication while breastfeeding as it can decrease milk production. Using nasal saline solutions like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse is a better option for nasal hygiene. Tylenol and throat lozenges like Halls or Fisherman's Friend can help with throat pain and irritation. Drinking plenty of fluids, either cold or hot, is also recommended. If symptoms persist for more than a week without improvement, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
