Question

I'm currently breastfeeding and have been prescribed Amoxyclav 625 for pharyngitis. I'm really worried about whether it's safe to use while nursing. Could it affect my baby? If it's not safe, what other antibiotics could I take instead?

Question

I'm really worried about my son; he's been dealing with a cold, cough, wheezing, and a runny nose for the past 11 days. He wasn't eating anything and seemed to be thirsty all the time, which isn't normal for him. We went to see a pediatrician who recommended T-minic and Asthalin syrup along with a nebulizer, but we skipped the nebulizer because he doesn't feel comfortable with it. Now he's a bit better, eating decently, and is more active. But his runny nose just won't go away, especially in the mornings and evenings, even after all this time. I've stopped giving him the Asthalin syrup but continue with T-minic twice a day. What can I do about this persistent runny nose? Also, it seems like his colds often turn into wheezing now, and that's really tough on him and us too. He's restless and can't sleep, which affects his appetite as well. I can't bear to see him suffer like this, and it's scary to think of him catching another cold that might turn into wheezing again. Any advice would be really appreciated.
