What can I safely give my 5-month-old baby to treat a dry cough, and is it safe for me to continue breastfeeding her after I have taken Montair LC tablets?

Asked by Female, 25 · 1 month ago

For your sweet 5-month-old, please avoid over-the-counter cough medicines, as they are not safe for infants. Instead, offer plenty of breast milk for comfort and hydration, or use a cool-mist humidifier. If the cough persists, please have a pediatrician examine her. Regarding Montair LC (which contains montelukast and levocetirizine), it is generally safe to continue breastfeeding while taking this medication. Only minimal amounts pass into breast milk, making it highly unlikely to affect your baby. Just monitor her for any unusual sleepiness. You are doing a wonderful job!
