I've been really poorly over the last 10 days (fever - temp up & down like a yo-yo) and managed to breastfeed through it all.
Went to the Dr's & was told could only have co-codemol for releif of pain and aches in bones. Came off those after 2 days due to sickness. Now over the flu but a terrible cough won't budge.
I'm not coughing any thing up & it is a violent cough, my chest sides and stomach sides don't like me coughing any more & neither does my head or the back of my neck. The cough reaches the stage where I am embarrassed by the noises I am making (like retching noises). Any way, nothing on the market for bf mums.
So after 7 days of awful cough & severe lack of sleep due to cough I've had to call it a day to bf so that I can get some drugs inside me. All I can say is that they'd better work & PDQ.
Moan over.
