Please don’t worry. Since your baby has already breastfed a few times after you took the medicines, serious side effects are very unlikely
Brozedex syrup (contains bronchodilator + antihistamine): Needs caution, as some ingredients may cause mild drowsiness in the baby.
Next Steps
Just observe your baby for unusual sleepiness, poor feeding, or irritability.
Health Tips
For your next doses, it’s better to consult your doctor so the medicines can be adjusted to safer alternatives if needed.
