Question

A week ago, every time I yawn, my eyes start to water and hurt, and sometimes I also experience headaches and gum pain. The doctor diagnosed me with hyperactivity of the liver fire and prescribed me Cefamandole, Qianming Yizhuang Wan, and Longgan Xiedan Wan. Since I am currently in the lactation period, which has been over two months, I need to get up to breastfeed every night, leading to insufficient sleep. I want to know if taking these medications will affect my baby.

Answer

Dear inquirer, based on your situation, it is recommended to avoid oral medications as much as possible. These drugs may be excreted into the milk and affect your baby. In this case, it is best to temporarily stop breastfeeding and resume exclusive breastfeeding after discontinuing the medication, which is safer for your baby.
