"I have pain when I swallow and when I cough. I am breastfeeding. What should I do?"

If you are experiencing pain while swallowing and coughing while breastfeeding, it is recommended to consult a doctor if your Centor score is 3 or higher. If your score is 2 or lower, you can try using honey lozenges, staying hydrated, resting, getting plenty of sleep, and taking Tylenol or Advil™ to reduce throat swelling. In this case, your symptoms should improve within a few days.
