    I haven't taken anything, my pediatrician said benedryl was the only safe thing & I figured in already tired enough - why add to it. I did ask my pharmacist friend for suggestions yesterday & she said antihistamines may affect my milk production and pseudoephedrine would do the same, she said Flonase would be probably the best option.
    I have used a sinus rinse that helps some, and just started using a humidifier tonight because my baby girl seems to be having some issues too. Hopefully it helps.
    I suggest talking to a pharmacist, they study medications more than the doctors do & would have better knowledge of possible side effects for you & your babe.
