Is there a decongestant that is safe to take while breastfeeding?

Yes, there are decongestants that are compatible with breastfeeding. Topical decongestants (sprays applied to the nose) are considered safe to use while breastfeeding. However, decongestants taken orally in pill form are not recommended as they can potentially decrease milk supply. It is best to consult with a pharmacist for advice on using decongestants while breastfeeding.
