When considering medication safety during breastfeeding, it's important to evaluate each component of the syrup.

• Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an antihistamine that can cause drowsiness and may pass into breast milk, potentially affecting the baby.

• Ammonium chloride and sodium citrate are generally considered safe in small amounts but should still be used cautiously.

• The syrup contains ethanol (alcohol), which is best avoided or minimized during breastfeeding.

It's advisable for the mother to consult her healthcare provider before taking this syrup to ensure it's safe for her and the baby. The doctor may suggest alternative treatments with a better safety profile during breastfeeding.

If the mother experiences symptoms like cough or cold, non-medication measures and safer alternatives might be recommended to protect the infant's health.
