Question

Can a baby drink cough medicine after breastfeeding?

Answer

According to your description, the baby may have gastroenteritis. You can give the baby milk, but it’s best not to force feeding when the baby doesn’t want to eat. You can still give the baby medication at this time, and also make sure the baby drinks plenty of water. Since it’s not convenient for the baby to take medicine, the mother can take the medicine and transfer the medication to the baby through breast milk to achieve the therapeutic effect. In addition, it is recommended to use ceftriaxone or azithromycin for intravenous treatment and combine it with pediatric lung heat cough asthma oral liquid for treatment. In daily life, it’s important to maintain good hygiene habits.
