POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. Cherricof syrup contains dextromethorphan, phenylephrine, and chlorpheniramine, which are used to treat cough and cold. If you are breastfeeding, you should be cautious before taking it.
Is Cherricof Syrup Safe for a Breastfeeding Mother?
✔️ Dextromethorphan – Generally safe in small amounts.
✔️ Phenylephrine – Can reduce breast milk supply and may cause irritability in the baby.
✔️ Chlorpheniramine – Can make both mother and baby drowsy.
Precautions:
✅ Take only if prescribed by a doctor.
✅ Drink plenty of fluids to prevent milk supply reduction.
✅ Monitor your baby for drowsiness, irritability, or feeding issues.
Safer Alternatives for Cough While Breastfeeding:
✔️ Honey and warm water (if no allergies).
✔️ Ginger tea with tulsi.
✔️ Steam inhalation for congestion.
✔️ Saline nasal drops for a blocked nose.
If your cough is severe or persistent, consult your doctor for a breastfeeding-safe medicine. Let me know if you need alternative syrup recommendations!
