Safe while breast feeding?

I am sure I took something for hay fever last year but the chemist I saw today gave me the 'bad mother' look* and suggested a homeopathic remedy instead.

I think not. I think I'd like something that will actually stop my nose from running until it starts bleeding (which is where I am at the moment).

* Her sales pitch: 'Well, if you want to put your own comfort above your child's well being, I suppose you could use this. Providing you don't abuse it. But really you shouldn't use it at all. Any woman who really cared about her child wouldn't take any medication at all for her whole pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and breast feeding period. Because obviously you might as well be injecting heroine into your eyeballs as taking over the counter hay fever meds.'

(as a ps to my reply elsewhere, so long as you were injecting the heroin cleanly, that'd be pretty darn safe in breastfeeding too. Most opiates are fine if not massively overdosed/not a medically fragile infant.
