A. yes can take . the child will not be affected. take tablet cetirizine 10mg once a day and paracetamol 500 mg can be taken for fever as well as pain. (you can take all types of anti cold medicine and cough medicine along with paracetamol for cough and cold given by your doctor). go for hot saline gargles at least 4 times per day and take tulsi ginger honey as well as turmeric with milk. you can continue breastfeeding if going on. if there is no improvement in 3 days it is advisable to meet the doctor. to prevent the spread of cold and cough from mother to the child the mother has to do regular hand washing and use face mask while giving breastfeeding and this will prevent spread of cold cough from mother to the child. can take paracetamol for fever and pain.
