This is from askdrsears.com:
"There are three issues to consider when considering taking medication while breastfeeding:
Do you need the drug?
Will the drug affect baby?
Will the drug affect your ability to make milk?"
He goes on to say that ibuprofen is OK, as well as decongestant. Check out the link, there is a lot of information for you. http://www.askdrsears.com/html/2/t028500.asp#T028503

I was prescribed Ibuprofen when I was breastfeeding, it should be okay.
Try lots of water and eat whatever you can to give you energy.
I'm sorry you're feeling icky, and wish you all the best for a speedy recovery :)

I got a cold when my son was a month old and then he ended up with RSV, I talked with my pharmacists and they recamended taking tylenol cough and cold *(BLUE LIQUID)*. Also You can take Tylenol 500MG I wouldnt take anything else though. I breastfed my son too..I still am and he's 7 months old.

I don't see why not but cansult your doctor first because if you are breastfeeding, the meds can get into the breastmilk.
