Can I take a decongestant while breastfeeding?

Yes, you can take certain antihistamines while breastfeeding to help with seasonal allergies. It is important to avoid decongestants, as they can decrease milk production. Other non-pharmacological measures, such as sinus rinses and avoiding exposure to pollen, can also help alleviate allergy symptoms. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication while breastfeeding.
