cold medications...

[nataliecn]

i seem to have caught a cold - and i'm wondering if i'm able to take cold medications while bf'ing?

I'm not sure what you can take to be honest. I'd ask at the chemists - see what they suggest? I'm pretty sure that paracetamol is ok though.

Tylenol won't really help me with what I'm going through right now.

I'm dying though. Does anyone know if like Vicks for under my nose is fine? And Halls lozenges and what not?

i had an extremely bad cold 2 or so ago. Took paracetomol and a splash of pholcodine *sp* (said *foal co dean*) at night simply because i didn't feed overnight. I really struggled during the day and i asked at pharmacist, the only thing he could advise was honey n lemon glycerin.

I can't c why vicks would make a differnce as it's an external product. I pinched some of my daughters snufflebabe and used that it's quite strong actually!

Yeah - Pharmacist said only Advil.. I don't get what a pain killer will do for me when it's a head cold... but ok! lol.

I just got some Halls Vitamin C cough drops for my throat, and one of those Vicks Inhalers for my nose to keep it nice and clear.

It's gonna be a lonnnng day if he's cranky and doesn't want to nap all day like I want to! haha!
