Is it safe to continue taking Avil 25 mg three times a day for itchy hives and facial swelling while breastfeeding my nine-month-old baby, and do these worsening symptoms mean I need to see a doctor for a different treatment?

Asked by Female, 34 · 12 days ago

Avil (pheniramine) can pass into breast milk and may cause drowsiness in your baby, so safer alternatives are generally preferred while breastfeeding. More importantly, because your hives and facial swelling are worsening, it is crucial that you see a doctor immediately. Facial swelling can potentially affect your airway and requires urgent evaluation. A healthcare professional can safely assess your symptoms, provide a more effective, breastfeeding-friendly treatment, and ensure both you and your baby remain safe. Please get evaluated right away.
