Medicine for cold during breastfeeding

2018-05-25 10:02:45
Our 4mo is exclusively on breastfeed. I have got cold, cough and running nose, probably due to AC. I am not sure if i can take any medicine during this phase but at the same time, i am also afraid of the infection i may pass to our baby. Please suggest.
