Is it safe for me to take my prescribed cough medications, L Montus and Ascoril D, while breastfeeding my 17-month-old baby, or could either of these medicines harm my child?
Since your baby is 17 months old, their risk of experiencing side effects from medications in breast milk is very low. L Montus (levocetirizine and montelukast) is generally considered safe to take while breastfeeding. Ascoril D (containing dextromethorphan, phenylephrine, and chlorpheniramine) is also safe for short-term use, though you should monitor your baby for any unusual drowsiness, as antihistamines can occasionally cause mild sleepiness. Please consult your doctor to ensure.
