A. Hello dear parent! There shouldn’t be any problem in feeding. Try steam inhalation. Drink a turmeric milk for a couple of nights. If the problem is persistent then consult your doctor for further advice. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby. Good luck and take care.
