I would like to know if I can take cough syrup while breastfeeding?

It is generally not recommended to take cough syrups while breastfeeding, as they have not shown to be more effective than drinking fluids or honey. It is best to try other remedies such as throat lozenges, drinking plenty of liquids, and maintaining nasal hygiene with saline solutions. It is important to consult a pharmacist before taking any medication to ensure it is safe while breastfeeding.
