Question
Can a lactating woman continue to breastfeed after taking Bupleurum Injection and Yanlie Xia Capsules?
Answer
It is recommended to temporarily stop breastfeeding and undergo a routine blood test. The issue might be related to mastitis. You can take cephalosporin antibiotics while maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the breasts. Massaging and cold compresses can be applied, and a breast pump can be used to express milk to avoid milk accumulation. Avoid smoking, barbecuing, spicy, and irritating foods. Consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as fiber-rich vegetables like cabbage, chives, and celery to ensure smooth bowel movements. Consider resuming breastfeeding three days after the body temperature returns to normal.
