you can take tylenol, advil and naproxen. Also use throat drops and sprays. You can use benedryl if it is allergy related, but if you do drink lots of water. Benedryl can decrease your milk supply. It may also make your baby sleepy. But it is considered safe.

My Dr said I could use Sucrets Losenges, and cloroseptic. I would definately ask to make sure it is ok though, every Dr has a different opinion, but you can usually just call and ask.
