Hi Jack

I'm seeing a client who has been having sinus and ear congestion since 7th
mo. of pregnancy, and it continues- her babe is 10 days old. The
paediatrician said she should not use Chlortriplon (the regular one-not
decongestant) even though our MotherRisk clinic said it was ok. I think
Hale's book also said it was ok. She would like to use it. In the meantime
she has been using Otrivin paediatric strength for herself. She's afraid to
use adult strength because of possible rebound effect. This is all
complicated by the fact that she's new to Ottawa, and is not properly
established with a doc she likes.

 Can you comment on the Chlortripolon and Otrivin? How often and how long
can she take the Otrivin without it causing rebound? Is adult strength ok?
She also had started a series of allergy desensitization and stopped during
her pregnancy and would like to resume. Is allergy desensitization
compatible with breastfeeding?

Thanks
