How Long Or How Many Pumps Before I Can Start Giving My 2 Month Old My Milk Again?
I took one pill of Chlorpheniramine maleate 4mg and Phenylephrine HCI 10mg (Cold and allergy relief). After reading online, I realized that it goes into breast milk, so I pumped and dumped the breast milk following the consumption of the pill. I pump every 4-5 hours. How long or how many pumps before I can start giving my 2 month old my milk again?

Even if it is secreted into breast milk, these medicines are not harmful for your baby and so you need not worry. You need not throw away your breast milk. Please continue exclusively breast feeding the baby.
