Is it safe to use antifungal medications during the newborn breastfeeding period?
Answer
Some antifungal Western medications may not be suitable during the newborn breastfeeding period. However, certain traditional Chinese herbs with antifungal properties can be used, such as white fresh bark, earth skin, bitter root, stemona, and cinchona bark. These herbs can be boiled and the resulting decoction used to soak and clean the affected area. Additionally, maintaining personal hygiene and keeping the affected area dry and clean is also very important. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
