Earache, sore throat, I use Sinus Rinse as much as I can. I am breastfeeding. What can I take to relieve?

If you are breastfeeding and experiencing ear pain and a sore throat, it is best to avoid sinus rinses and products with "Sinus" in their name as they can decrease milk production. Instead, you can try using Otrivin nasal spray followed by a modified Valsalva maneuver to help relieve the pressure in your ear. You can also consider taking Tylenol or Advil for pain relief.
