When a nursing mother catches a cold, if she only has mild nasal congestion and runny nose, it is recommended that the breastfeeding mother drink more water and take Chinese-made cold-clearing granules for treatment if necessary. If you are accompanied by symptoms of sore throat, you can drink an appropriate amount of oral liquid to clear away heat and detoxify. If the cold symptoms cannot be relieved after taking medicine and there is obvious yellow purulent sputum, it may be complicated by bacterial infection, and antibiotics need to be treated.

The antibiotics that can be taken during breastfeeding are generally cephalosporins or penicillins. If there is no allergy, you can take cefixime or amoxicillin, but they must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
