Hello doctor!
I went to the doctor and concluded that I had an inflammation of the left milk duct and left axillary lymph node, the doctor prescribed me to take Augmentin 1g. I've been taking it for 1 day but the lymph nodes are still bigger, but I'm breastfeeding. I see that the medicine should not be used while breastfeeding. Doctor let me ask, can I use Augmentin 1g while breastfeeding?
Looking forward to the doctor's advice, thank you!

Hello!
With the question "Can I use Augmentin 1g while breastfeeding? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Augmentin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, commonly used in the treatment of many infections. This medicine contains Amoxicillin and Clavulanate potassium, which belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics. This is a safe group of antibiotics that can be used during breastfeeding. So you can safely breastfeed without affecting the baby.
If you still have questions about whether you can use Augmentin 1g while breastfeeding, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
