Can breastfeeding mothers take cold medicine?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can breastfeeding mothers take cold medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is important to pay attention to medication during pregnancy. You can try taking Ke Gan Min orally and Da Qing Ye. Rest well and drink plenty of water. If you have high fever, you can take Naproxen orally for treatment. Avoid spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hello, estrogen also has an effect on the nasal mucosa. The amount of estrogen in a pregnant woman's blood increases 25-40 times compared to before pregnancy. Under the influence of estrogen, the nasal mucosa swells, local blood vessels dilate and become congested, making it more prone to damage and bleeding.
