Is it safe for a breastfeeding mother to take paracetamol (Dolo 650) to manage acute, unilateral breast pain while continuing her regular nursing schedule?
Yes, it is generally safe to take paracetamol (Dolo 650) for pain relief while continuing to breastfeed. Only a tiny amount passes into breast milk, making it safe for your baby. Since you are experiencing acute, one-sided breast pain, it could be due to a blocked milk duct or early mastitis. Please continue nursing regularly to help empty the breast. Applying a warm compress before feeding and gently massaging the area can also help. If you develop a fever, redness, or if the pain persists, please contact your healthcare provider or a lactation consultant for a proper evaluation.
