I have had a phlegmy cough since yesterday (I have secretions) and I am breastfeeding. Can I take expectorant syrup?

It is generally not recommended to take cough syrup while breastfeeding. Instead, you can try using a product like Sinus Rinse™ twice a day for at least 5 days. To soothe your throat and calm coughing fits, you can also try taking a spoonful of warm honey throughout the day. Make sure to drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest. With these measures, you should start feeling better in less than 7 days.
