I know I'll get some quicker answers here than I would spending the day on the phone trying to get in touch with my doctor . . .
Jack shared a nasty toddler virus with me, and I am miserable. My head is stuffed up that I have pain in my left eye socket from sinus pressure. I don't think it's a sinus infection because I don't have a fever--just some really bad congestion.
I've used the nasal spray for the last 2 days, but I think I'm maxed out on it for a while (don't want to get rebound congestion). So now I'm wondering what I can take while BF. Joshua is almost 5 months and is exclusively fed breast milk (mostly nurses, gets whatever little bit of pumped milk he'll take when I'm at work). He's not on any solids or formula, so he'll (in some quantity) whatever I take without anything to "buffer" it, so to speak.
I've heard Sudafed is bad for milk supply, and that's the last thing I need. But I'm just so miserable. I'm at work, and my head is just throbbing.
Also, what pain relief meds are okay? Tylenol? Advil?
Thanks,
Lisa
