Hi,
Kindly check your oxygen levels. If you already have a history of wheezing/allergies/asthma or if you were using inhalers do continue them
If not, it's important to understand why this is happening.
I would need some extra information to understand why this is happening. Do consult when feasible
Next Steps
avoid over the counter medicines
avoid exposure to dust
avoid going out without a mask until this settles

**Dear Patient,**
A wheezing-like cough during the postpartum period requires careful evaluation, especially since you have a 21-day-old baby. While some cough syrups may be considered safe during breastfeeding, it is crucial to identify the underlying cause (such as allergies, asthma, infection, or postpartum-related changes) before starting any medication.
Since certain medications can pass into breast milk, I strongly advise against self-medication. Please consult a doctor for:
- A proper diagnosis (viral/bacterial/allergic cause)
- Safe, breastfeeding-compatible treatment options
- Monitoring of your oxygen levels if needed
For personalized guidance and to ensure your baby’s safety, you may contact me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two** or schedule an in-person consultation.
