Can I breastfeed after receiving intravenous fluids for acute gastritis?

Patient's question:

Adult with acute gastritis received intravenous fluids, but the child is crying badly due to lack of milk. Can breastfeeding continue?

Doctor's answer:

Cannot breastfeed anymore, it is not possible after taking medication. I suggest using a breast pump to express the milk and give the baby some formula instead. I am happy to assist you. For daily treatment of gastritis patients, the main focus is symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins to boost their immunity and help the condition recover, which can speed up the healing process. Also, pay attention to your diet and eat light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods.
