What decongestant can i take while breastfeeding

Answered by Dr. Atul Mittal

Best is to take nasal decongestant sprays for a short duration as prescribed by your physician. It's locally acting, quick relief and a negligible amount is absorbed into the circulation.

I am suffering from throat pain and ear pain from last 10 days.I had one course of Azithromycin and Amoxicillin. Still no change

Female | 33

Throat with ear pain persistent despite antibiotics can mean a few things. Non responsiveness to antibiotics could mean resistance, you could have a different issue than an infection that's causing pain. Please visit your local ENT for detailed evaluation and diagnosis.

What can i take for a blocked nose, throat pain and cough. No fever

Female | 58

Please don't start medications without a thorough evaluation by an ENT as not all blocked nose throat pain and cough are the same. For temporary relief, steam inhalation and warm fluid sips will help.

Male | 47

Experiencing persistent hissing in one ear and a feeling of fullness along with discomfort and headaches can be distressing. These symptoms may arise from various factors such as earwax buildup, fluid in the ear, or tension-related issues. It's important to ensure that a thorough evaluation has been conducted, including hearing tests and possible imaging, to pinpoint the cause. You may benefit from a review of your current medications and treatment plan by your healthcare provider. They can help tailor a solution that addresses your specific needs. Don't hesitate to seek further professional advice if symptoms persist; maintaining open communication with your doctor is key.
