A. It is generally safe to continue breastfeeding while you're taking antibiotics and paracetamol, as most medications used to treat cough and fever are considered safe during breastfeeding. The antibiotics prescribed to you are likely safe for your baby, but you should always confirm with your doctor or pediatrician that the specific antibiotics you're using are breastfeeding-friendly. Paracetamol is also safe for use during breastfeeding, as it passes into breast milk in very small amounts. However, if you have any concerns or if your baby shows any signs of discomfort or reactions, it’s always a good idea to reach out to your healthcare provider for advice tailored to your specific situation. Keep yourself hydrated, rest as much as possible, and continue breastfeeding, as breast milk provides essential nutrients and antibodies to your baby.
