    I had a cold and basically all I did was nasal spray and sit in the bathroom with a hot shower running (me and baby - we were BOTH sick). I was too afraid anything else would tank my supply :(

    I took tylenol some days that the symptoms were really bad and I had some sore throat drop halls breezers otherwise Itty bit and I sat in the bathroom with the shower running and inhaled the steam. My supply dropped due to me not eating as much but after I started feeling better my supply started going up again.

    For coughs: honey & lemon.  For sinus pressure: lavender oil on them.  For aches and pains: ibuprofen.  I've used Claritin when I was feeling really bad.

    Here's a link with lots of ideas and the potential for problems: https://kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/meds/cold-remedy/
