A. take tablet cetirizine 10mg once a day and paracetamol 500 mg can be taken for fever as well as pain. go for hot saline gargles at least 4 times per day and take tulsi ginger honey as well as turfmeric 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 tdhe 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.

A. Hello dear parent, we'll your baby can catch cold from you. Babies are most affected to common flu mostly through their mothers. You can try and put in mask before feeding the baby and take appropriate medicine which is suitable for breast feeding as well.
