Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
During lactation, a cough can be treated with Jizhi Syrup. Taking Jizhi Syrup will not affect breast milk. A cough requires identifying the cause. If it is a respiratory infection, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent transmission to the baby. During breastfeeding, one can take medication, preferably traditional Chinese medicine, such as Banlangen, Shuanghuanglian, or cansu pills. Breastfeeding can continue, as colds are transmitted through the respiratory tract, not through milk. Therefore, it is best to wear a mask while feeding and caring for the baby to avoid infecting the child.
