What can I take while breastfeeding besides Advil and Tylenol for muscle pain?

There are several options that can be used to relieve muscle pain while breastfeeding besides Advil and Tylenol. Creams containing ingredients like salicylate of triethanolamine can be helpful for localized pain. It is important to make sure you are not allergic to aspirin before using these products. Additionally, muscle pain during breastfeeding can sometimes be caused by poor positioning while breastfeeding. It might be helpful to consult a lactation consultant or ask someone to observe your positioning while nursing to ensure proper posture.
