Claritin is also safe to take while pregnant and nursing! It's my saving grace living here in Texas.

You can take sudafed while nursing. I had the same problem and called my OB and the Pediatrician and both told me that Sudafed was okay. Also I used Afrin Nasal Spray both while pregnant and nursing. You might try a Cool Mist Vaporizer or a Humidafier .. you can get both at Walmart or a pharmacy. I have a Humidafier from VICKS it was a cheap model but it has a little medicine bowl right in front of where the mist comes out. I fill it full of VICKS vapor rub. Then I put a small fan behind the Humidifier. The fan blows the warm humid air and the VICKS right at me while I sleep. When I wake up the next morning my congestion is gone. Its great. Good luck, I know how hard it is to be nursing and sick.

Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar. 1 teaspoon 3x a day. You'll get over it fast.

I was always told to take Sudafed while I was nursing and also while pregnant.

You can take benadryl and sudafed while nursing. Yes some will go into your milk but not much, and it is safe for babies. Also try a saline mist to help clear things out.

I'm nursing mother of a four month old. I suffer bad from allergies. Im worst then I have ever been. I asked my pedi and he said it was okay to take my zyrtec 10mg. I feel better when I remember to take it. I take it at night because it makes me feel graugy. So I would talk to your pedi and see what they say. Because everyone is different. My son is a big boy he weighs 18.5 lbs. I only give him breastmilk. I hope this helps.

While you CAN take Benadryl while nursing...be careful. It can effect your milk supply and dry you up. If I were you I would wait until tomorrow and call the doc to prescribe something that will be more effective and not effect your milk supply.

The only that I can tell you is to go see an allergist and I know of an awesome one. It is in Flowermound. Family Allegery and Asthma care. 3051 Churchill Drive suite 130 ###-###-#### and see Dr. mary hudleson. She is the owner and The dr. there.
