Question
Can a baby take cough medicine after breastfeeding?
Answer
According to your description, the baby may have a gastrointestinal flu. It is okay to give the baby medicine after breastfeeding, but it’s best not to force feeding when the baby doesn’t want to eat. You can continue to administer medication to the baby while also ensuring they drink plenty of water, as babies may not like taking medicine. Alternatively, the mother can take the medicine and pass the treatment through breast milk. Additionally, it is recommended to use ceftriaxone or azithromycin for intravenous treatment and pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits. It is also advisable to use pediatric lung heat cough syrup for treatment.
