Today, new strains of influenza appear every year, some of them can be very dangerous, for example, the so-called “swine” or “bird” flu. It is not surprising that during epidemics, nursing mothers are concerned about the prevention and treatment of influenza during lactation. They are also concerned about the possibility of breastfeeding during illness.
Are the flu and breastfeeding compatible?
Some doctors still advise breastfeeding women who get the flu during lactation to stop breastfeeding, citing the fact that the baby can become infected through breast milk. But the fact is that by the time the mother discovers that she has the flu while breastfeeding, the causative agent of the disease has already been transmitted to the child. However, along with milk, the baby receives not only the influenza virus, but also maternal antibodies, as well as enzymes and hormones, vitamins and minerals that strengthen the immune system. Therefore, under no circumstances should you wean your baby from the breast or boil milk.
Flu medications during lactation
Flu during breastfeeding is a dangerous disease with a large number of serious complications. Therefore, a nursing mother needs to consult a doctor at the very beginning of the disease to prescribe treatment.
Most combination medications for influenza are not compatible with breastfeeding. For influenza during lactation, interferon preparations (Viferon, Grippferon) are allowed. By the way, they should also be taken as a prophylaxis against influenza during lactation during epidemics.
You can reduce the temperature with paracetamol during breastfeeding and drugs based on it, as well as Nurofen. will make it easier nasal breathing“Nazivin”, “Naphthyzin”, “Pinosol”, the nasal mucosa must be moisturized with sprays based on sea water. Will help with cough breast collection, licorice root, Lazolvan, Gedelix, Doctor Mom.

A sore throat may be the first symptom of a cold or sore throat. Each person, sensing this problem, begins intensive treatment: some buy all kinds of cold remedies at the pharmacy, and some use traditional methods. Sore throat during lactation becomes a particular problem, since a nursing mother cannot take all the medications in a row.
How to treat a nursing mother's throat?
If a woman has a sore throat while breastfeeding, then the choice of treatment method becomes much more complicated. Most medications are prohibited for use during breastfeeding. This is because most of them pass into breast milk and can cause a number of negative consequences: intestinal colic, allergic reaction, liver and kidney problems in a child. Before treating a throat during lactation with one remedy or another, you need to familiarize yourself with its contraindications. And yet, there are traditional and folk remedies for a sore throat during lactation:
Traditional throat medications for lactation involve the use of tablets, syrups, gargles and sprays. Throat tablets during lactation should be taken once at a high temperature. Gargling during lactation is the most harmless method of treatment. To do this, it is recommended to add 1 teaspoon of salt to a glass of warm boiled water, ? a teaspoon of soda and 4 drops of iodine, and you need to gargle with this solution throughout the day. Rinsing with furacillin solution is also effective.
For syrups, you can use Doctor MOM, Gedelix, Breast Elixir and others (which do not contain bromhexine). Hexoral is a throat spray that is not prohibited for nursing mothers. It is effective in treating viral diseases and easy to use (2 times a day is enough).
Using unconventional remedies if a nursing mother has a sore throat
From folk methods you can 
use boiled milk with a piece butter and a teaspoon of honey. Eating honey with garlic is effective; 1 clove of garlic and 1 teaspoon of honey are enough. You can chew a piece of propolis for a while, just watch how the baby reacts to it. Propolis is an excellent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral agent, but it can cause allergic reactions.
If a nursing mother notices symptoms of a cold, then she can try to treat herself for a couple of days, but if there is no effect and the temperature rises, she should consult a doctor.

Colds during breastfeeding
Damn, my mother-in-law got sick and now it seems everyone is going to bed at home (((I found an article, maybe it will be useful to someone.Svetla Babylonskaya
gynecologist, department employee clinical pharmacology Moscow State Medical Dental University, Ph.D.
Course of the disease
The duration of a cold ranges from several days to several weeks. Infection with acute respiratory infections occurs by inhaling droplets of sputum containing viruses that enter the air from sick people when coughing, sneezing and talking.
In the human body, viruses multiply quickly in the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract. Each type of acute respiratory infection virus has a “predilection” for a specific part of the upper respiratory tract. For example, the parainfluenza virus - to the mucous membrane of the nasal passages and larynx, rhinoviruses - mainly to the mucous membrane of the nasal passages. As a result, patients develop swelling and inflammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract affected by the infection. From there, viruses enter the blood and spread to various organs.
Susceptibility to acute respiratory infections in nursing mothers is very high: their respiratory organs constantly work under high load, since milk production requires high energy consumption and large quantity oxygen.
From the penetration of the virus into the upper respiratory tract to the development of the disease, an average of 1 to 3 days passes.
The main signs of all types of colds are fever, runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, sore throat, and cough.
As a rule, the course of acute respiratory infections is not severe and short-lived (from 3 to 10 days). However, these diseases (especially influenza) are dangerous due to their complications. They aggravate chronic diseases, including “silent” foci of infection. Therefore, treatment should not be neglected when acute respiratory infections occur, even if the disease is easily tolerated.
Treatment of acute respiratory infections should begin as early as possible. At the first signs of the disease, you should consult a doctor who can recommend appropriate therapy. At home, a sick mother should wear a disposable mask, which must be changed every 2 hours. There is no need to stop breastfeeding if acute respiratory infections occur, except in cases of prescribing medications that are incompatible with breastfeeding.
To date, no effective drug has been created against viral infections of the upper respiratory tract. Drugs such as REMANTADINE, RIBOVIRIN, ARBIDOL, which suppress the reproduction of almost all viruses, are effective only as a preventive measure or in the first hours of the disease. But they have side effects that can also occur in a child: they interfere with the work gastrointestinal tract, calling pain in the stomach and loose stool; increase nervous excitability; may occur on the skin allergic rash. And when using IMMUNAL, the complex homeopathic drug AFLUBIN, allergic reactions in the baby are possible.
Doctors do not recommend that nursing mothers use these medications. However, in case of acute respiratory infections, for the purpose of prevention or treatment, they can instill GRIPPFERON into the nasal passages (recombinant? obtained by genetic engineering alpha?2b human interferon), which has no contraindications and does not cause side effects.
In addition, when treating nursing women, VIFERON suppositories can be used, which are a complex of recombinant alpha-2b human interferon in combination with tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) and ascorbic acid.
It should be remembered that in case of a viral infection, the use of antibiotics is not justified. Antibacterial drugs do not act on viruses, so symptomatic therapy is carried out aimed at reducing intoxication and increasing the body's defenses. Of course, in some cases, the doctor may suspect the presence of a bacterial complication, such as a sore throat or pneumonia, and prescribe an antibiotic combined with breastfeeding (you need to check this information with your doctor). If you need to appoint a specific antibacterial agent, which is not combined with breastfeeding, then breastfeeding should be stopped for the duration of treatment, and the milk should be expressed by hand or with a breast pump and poured out.
Symptomatic therapy includes prescribing plenty of warm drinks. This is an important measure that prevents drying of the mucous membranes of the nose and throat and helps to thin sputum, sweating and reduce the level of intoxication.
It must be remembered that an increase in temperature during a cold is an important protective mechanism. It is by the temperature reaction that the doctor will be able to timely diagnose the development of a bacterial complication of acute respiratory infections, and the uncontrolled use of antipyretic drugs can distort the picture. The safest means of reducing high temperature(above 38.5 degrees C) for nursing mothers is PARACETAMOL, which should be prescribed by a specialist. Such popular means for colds, such as TERAFLU, COLDREX, FERVEX, etc., are not recommended for nursing women, because Their effect on this group of people has not been fully studied.
To reduce cough, expectorants are prescribed that dilute sputum, for example AMBROXOL (LAZOLVAN), which allows you to cleanse the bronchi and restore their functions. Drugs whose main active ingredient is bromhexine are contraindicated for nursing and pregnant women.
When coughing, nursing women will be helped by herbal preparations based on licorice root, anise, ivy, thyme, thyme, plantain and other herbal components that promote the discharge of mucus from the bronchi, for example BREAST ELIXIR (take 20-40 drops several times a day), GEDELIX, TUSSAMAG, BRONCHICUM, DR.
Can be useful for a runny nose vasoconstrictor drops, facilitating nasal breathing NAFAZOLINE (NAPHTHYZINE), XYLOMETAZOLINE (GALAZOLINE), TETRIZOLINE (TIZINE), OXYMETAZOLINE (NAZIVIN). They can be used no longer than 3-5 days. A herbal preparation will be useful - oil drops PINOSOL, which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
When you have a runny nose, you can use sprays AQUAMARIS, SALIN, prepared on the basis of sea water, to moisturize the nasal mucosa. These drugs thin out mucus, improving its discharge, and help normalize the functioning of the nasal mucosa.
For a sore throat, it is possible to use local antiseptic (antimicrobial) drugs HEXORAL (solution, spray), CHLORHEXIDINE, IODINOL (gargling solution), lozenges SEBIDIN, STREPSILS. To lubricate the mucous membrane of the pharynx, use LUGOL'S SOLUTION ( water solution potassium iodine).

IN autumn period When the weather changes dramatically, colds often occur, which also affects nursing mothers. Often it takes a young woman by surprise, and her health leaves much to be desired.
When you have a cold, you are always worried about the question of how not to infect the child and whether it is possible to breastfeed if the woman herself is sick, what can be treated so as not to harm lactation and the health of the child with drugs.
Colds while breastfeeding
A cold is a collective concept that characterizes a group of viral and microbial infections, united by common, similar manifestations. Typically, a cold causes inflammatory lesions in the nose and throat, and there may be general malaise and fever.
In medicine, colds are usually called ARVI (acute respiratory viral infections) or ARI (acute respiratory diseases).
Today more than 200 are known respiratory viruses and several dozen microbial infections. They can affect a nursing mother, causing her unpleasant symptoms and leading to disorders general condition and well-being.
A cold during breastfeeding is often not very different from the manifestations of ordinary acute respiratory viral infections. Symptoms occur within a period of several hours to several days from the moment of infection, while a nursing mother can be contagious for several days from the onset of the disease.
Typically, a cold during breastfeeding manifests itself in symptoms such as:
- itching and dryness in the nose, frequent sneezing
- hoarseness, irritation and sore throat
- dry or wet cough
- aches in muscles and joints
- general malaise, weakness, drowsiness
- temperature rise from low to high levels
- nasal discharge of a clear, liquid and profuse nature with thickening and crusting
- sore throat when swallowing, discomfort in the throat
- pain in the eyes, lacrimation, photophobia.
With certain types of viral infections, the combination of symptoms can be different, and the manifestations can range from mild to severe, bringing significant discomfort to the woman.
A cold during lactation is also dangerous because the woman’s body has not yet fully recovered after childbirth, it works under stress and the immune system is not yet fully functioning.
This can lead to complications if the cold is ignored or treated incorrectly. In addition, nursing mothers worry about their baby and his health when he has a cold.
Colds while breastfeeding: how not to infect your baby
When a mother develops a cold while breastfeeding, the question always arises as to whether it is possible to continue feeding the baby.
According to doctors and lactation specialists, this must be done while taking all precautions and actively treating the cold.
Mother's breast milk is the best remedy for the child and for the prevention of colds.
If a mother develops ARVI, the baby along with her will most likely also receive viruses, but due to the antibodies of breast milk, he will either not get sick at all, or will suffer from a cold quickly and easily.
Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to wean a child while the mother has a cold, so that this does not reduce his immunity and does not increase his chances of developing a cold.
Often, when there is a cold, mothers try to wear a mask and isolate the child from themselves as much as possible, but these measures are ineffective, the mask only protects for half an hour from the moment it is put on, then it needs to be changed or boiled (if it is a gauze bandage).
In addition, being in the same house, a sick woman willy-nilly comes into contact with the child and transmits some of the viruses to him.
Therefore, it is worth frequently and actively feeding the child in order to transfer antibodies to him, as well as taking all measures to prevent colds and actively treating with drugs and methods that are compatible with breastfeeding.
Colds during breastfeeding: how to treat?
Colds during lactation require a special approach to treatment so that it is effective for the mother and safe for the baby. In many cases it is actively used local therapy and traditional methods of treatment, however, with such approaches, cold symptoms persist longer than with classical therapy.

Today, many cold medications are sold on pharmacy shelves, but not all of them are indicated for nursing mothers or are safe for children. It is prohibited to take drugs such as aspirin, Theraflu, Flucold, Coldrex and similar ones.
Colds during lactation require careful selection of drugs with predominantly local action and their low penetration into breast milk.
Methods treatment nursing
For a sore throat, it is necessary to actively eliminate inflammation and the pathogenic objects that cause it.
For these purposes they use local antiseptics– Miramistin spray, Hexoral, Strepsils lozenges, Lugol’s solution, Tantum Verde spray and others local drugs. They have analgesic, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Cough medications should only be selected with a doctor, since some even herbal preparations can affect lactation and the child. For dry cough, Lazolvan, Ambroxol, Doctor Mom, and Herbion are used to expectorate and thin the sputum.
You can also use herbal preparations - gedelix, bronchicum, breast elixir.
It is forbidden for nursing mothers to use medications containing bromhexine; it can pass into breast milk and cause complications in the baby.

Preparations for oral administration during breastfeeding
In the presence of general malaise and fever, if the temperature rises above 38.5 degrees, you may need to take antipyretic drugs. The safest medications for nursing mothers are paracetamol and ibuprofen.
If the temperature is well tolerated, you should not bring the temperature down to 38.0-38.5, this is to help the body fight viruses. If you need to take antipyretics, you should start with paracetamol, or use physical cooling methods - drinking plenty of fluids, wiping with a damp sponge. If paracetamol is ineffective, ibuprofen can be used.
The use of antibiotics for colds on their own is prohibited. They should be prescribed only by a doctor and only for strict indications (sore throat, bronchitis, otitis).
Certain groups of antibiotics (tetracyclines, gentamicin) and sulfonamides are prohibited when breastfeeding.
Other antibiotics are prescribed in short courses and under the supervision of a physician.
Cold on the lip while breastfeeding
A separate variant of the ailment is a cold on the lip during breastfeeding. This is an exacerbation of a herpes infection, which is dangerous in terms of transmission to a child.
Therefore, when herpes appears on the lips, active local antiviral therapy is necessary - acyclovir, Zovirax, and adherence to the strictest personal hygiene measures.
Herpes is transmitted through saliva through contact - it is forbidden to kiss a child, lick his spoons and nipples.
