A. yes can do breast feeding it is important to follow the instructions and medicines course given by your doctor for the problem . they are safe if given by registered medical practitioner. do not undertake medicines or medical procedures not prescribed / guided by the doctor. take a follow up in few days if it is not improving for need of treatment modification

A. She should take a proper treatment from the doctor and it is not going to spread through milk but I don’t think so it would be advisable to feed the child during this time so kindly consult the doctor and go ahead with what they suggested
