I have a sore throat and have difficulty swallowing. Is it contraindicated to use suppositories while breastfeeding?

It is not recommended to use suppositories while breastfeeding, as some of them may contain ingredients that have not been studied enough to ensure the safety of the baby. Instead, you can consider taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) for your sore throat, as long as there are no contraindications or interactions with other medications. Make sure to stay hydrated with either cold or hot liquids, as this can also help with throat pain.
