I am breastfeeding my 7 month old daughter and I have a hellious cold. Runny, stuffy, nose, sneezing, coughing, sinus pressure so bad that my teeth hurt.
I know that I can't take Sudifed (Decongestants) and stuff like that because it dries up mucous membranes. I also know that I can't take Nyquil and things of that nature. But is their anything that I can take? Regular tyenol isn't touching the pressure headache or the other multiple symptoms. Please help I am really uncomfortable and tired and don't want to harm my milk production or my daughter.
Thank you in advance.
****P.S **** IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING SMART TO SAY KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. IT IS 7 AM AND THE DR WON'T PRESCRIBE ANYTHING FOR A COLD. HENCE IT IS A VIRUS AND NOT A BACTERIA.

You can never be to careful in this situation. Unfortunately most medications will be out of the question. Call your pharmacist they know best which medications are safe to take. They may recommend just using some kind of nasal spray. However is it is as bad as I am thinking it is you should see your doctor, it could be more than a cold such as sinus infection that could need treatment from an antibiotic, I have had many colds and many sinus infections, my teeth have never hurt from just a cold only sinus infection. Good Luck.
