Yes it does go to breast milk
Dexamethasone does pass into breast milk, but low doses taken by the mother are unlikely to significantly affect a nursing baby.
Take drugs that are absolutely essential for your health and inform your treating doctor about breast feeding so that doses can be adjusted or drug withdrawn

Dear lybrate-user,
you probably do not have hypothyroidism as your symptoms are non specific and your free t4 and tsh are normal. Your weight gain is probably related to the total cessation of physical activity after 6 months and the steroid injections but now that you are not on steroids that does not explain why you remain so overweight. The 8 am cortisol of 22 ug/dl is just above normal. You need to do a dexamethasone suppression test to rule out over-activity of adrenal glands. You need ...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
It is difficult to understand why one would take Dexona (dexamethasone) tablets for weight increase. It is strong corticosteroid. Plus Cyproheptadin 4 mg, is also absolutely useless for weight increase. Since there is no mention about height and weight, I can hardly comment. As regards the infection on the abdomen, please do show it to a skin doctor, it can be cured. For weight increase one needs, proper nutrition and regular structured exercise. Thank...more

Ms. lybrate-user it's unfortunate to hear such issue. All medicines have some or other side effects and your child is suffering from ototoxicity of typhoid medications. Keep in mind to inform any doctor you consult for your baby in future to inform about this event to prevent further damage. Secondly you didn't mention how bad the hearing loss is. Send audiometry and bera reports so that I can advise accordingly. If the damage is permanent then hearing aid will be the only option. There are some...more
