Hello Doc,
I am a lactating mother to a 3 months old baby. And I have got cold. Can I take levocetrizine or levocetrizine/montelukast while breastfeeding? Are they safe?

All drugs are secreted into breastmilk, hence you should avoid drugs as much as possible. Try steam inhalation, if very annoying better take plain lecvocetirizine
