A. Hi. Viral fever goes away in a week. Take symptomatic treatment like paracetamol for fever and cough or cold relieving treatment like hot water fermentation or Tulasi tea etc.. try not to take antibiotics because antibiotics (against bacteria) have no effect in viral fevers. Yes if it’s severe cough or infection then you can take antibiotics on advice. Some medications doesn’t effect breast feeding.
