My nose has been congested so it’s really hard for me to breathe. Are there any safe medications I can take while I’m nursing?

You can take warm baths, and drink los of warm water or eat lots of Vitamin C in the form of food like fruits and vegetables. Echinacea is generally recognized to be safe for nursing moms.
