Question
The doctor asked me, can I breastfeed if I have herpes of the lips? I am currently using acyclovir 400mg * 5 times / day.

Hello! Acyclovir crosses the placental barrier and is present in breast milk. You can still breastfeed your baby, but you should observe your baby, if your baby is fussy, vomiting a lot, you should stop breastfeeding during the period of taking Acyclovir.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
