Any  recommendations for medications that treat allergy and/or sinus 
problems and  do not suppress milk supply? 
 
~~~ If mom needs meds, she shouldn't suffer, but if other strategies might  
work, she can try:
1. local honey
2. garlic tea: honey ( esp. as local as possible), clove of garlic, minced, 
 and fresh lemon juice, in hot water...
3.  Neti pot use
 
These may help with prevention, dealing with the issues as they arise, or  
in conjunction with meds. Serious sinus issues can require antibiotics, many 
of  which are compatible with breastfeeding and have no affect on supply. I 
suppose  it's those  sinus issues where mom is looking for something 
medical  but over the counter which are the trickiest?
 
Peace,
