You may take paracetamol, as it is generally the safest and most recommended option for mild fever and headaches while breastfeeding. Try to avoid combined cold and flu medicines that contain decongestants, as these can reduce your milk supply and may not be suitable for your baby. Make sure you rest, keep warm, drink plenty of fluids, and consult your doctor before starting any new medicine.

Consultation:
