As a breastfeeding mother, it is important to take medications that are safe for both you and your baby. For your cough and cold with a sore throat, you can try the following:
1. Home Remedies:
Drink warm water with honey and lemon.
Gargle with warm salt water.
Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil.
Use a humidifier to keep the air moist.
2. Safe Medications:
Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) for fever or body pain.
Cetirizine or Loratadine for allergies and runny nose.
Throat lozenges with honey or glycerin (avoid menthol-based ones as they may reduce milk supply).
Saline nasal spray to relieve nasal congestion.
Avoid:
Medications with pseudoephedrine, as they can reduce milk supply.
Strong cough syrups with codeine or dextromethorphan without consulting a doctor.
Since symptoms can vary, I strongly recommend a consultation to ensure safe and effective treatment. You can reach me for a detailed consultation on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two.

Home remedies for URTI (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection) include staying hydrated with warm liquids like tea, soup, or broth, using a humidifier to relieve congestion, gargling with salt water, inhaling steam from a bowl of hot water, and consuming soothing foods like honey, ginger, and chicken soup.
