You can use simple anti cold preparation like chlorphenaramine maleate which is relatively safe during breastfeeding feeding. Though other medicines like cetrizine are relatively safe they can pass through breast milk and better to be avoided
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
