Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cold most of the time is a viral illness where there could be running nose sneezing along with cough and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration . steam inhalation will also be useful in this .
cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be used once a proper evaluation by the doctor is done and according to the type of cough its prescribed.
if any fever is there pjiaracetamol can be given to reduce the temperature and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .

no ,it can not affect thorough your breastmilk.
but as it could be viral Infection ,it may affect your child .
so ,I advise to continue with breastfeeding , breastmilk contains antibodies which help your child to fight against such Infections
