Avoid eating excessive amounts of cough drops containing menthol. Large amounts of menthol can reduce milk supply.
Expectorant cough mixtures
medicines containing guaifenesin can be taken by breastfeeding mothers to relieve a chesty cough.
Nasal decongestant sprays or drops will act directly on the nasal passages to relieve congestion and reduce absorption into the mother’s body. These may prove to be a safer alternative to decongestant tablets.

The medicine is found to have slight risk in pregnancy but in your case the benefits outweigh the risk as your cough if not improved can be more harmful to the baby. Continue with the advice and also take saline gargles or steam inhalation.

Hello. Eustachian tube block can happen during cold and cough episode. Did you also have fever? You need to start with decongestant medicines and nose drops containing xylometazoline to improve your clogged nose and relieve the swelling around eustachian tube. Take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day and a cough syrup containing ambroxol would be helpful. You can opt for a teleconsultation for a detailed medication advise and a better understanding of the problem.
