Can I take Chandra Prabha Vati while breastfeeding if my baby has G6PD deficiency and I'm experiencing UTI symptoms? - #53769
नमस्ते डॉक्टर, मैं एक breastfeeding मां हूँ। मेरा बच्चा दिन में 2–3 बार मेरा दूध पीता है और बाकी समय मैं उसे Lactogen (formula milk) देती हूँ। मुझे पेशाब में जलन / UTI जैसी समस्या हो रही है। मेरा एक बहुत जरूरी सवाल है — मेरे बच्चे को G6PD deficiency है। क्या मैं चंद्रप्रभा वटी (Baidyanath) ले सकती हूँ? क्या यह दवा breastfeeding के दौरान safe है, खासकर जब बच्चे को G6PD deficiency है? अगर यह safe नहीं है, तो कृपया मुझे कोई safe आयुर्वेदिक या अन्य इलाज बताएं। धन्यवाद।
