3 week old premature born 35+5days

I am a mother of 3 week old premature baby born in 35+5 days. He had jaundice and was on photo theraphy and now is fine with bilirubin levels of 4.5. Suddenly i am having runny nose and itchy eyes. Can I breastfeed the baby and can i be in contact with him such as holding him close or lifting him? Can I take paracetamol for my cold? Is sinarest safe while breastfeeding? Or does it affect my baby? Kindly advise

Congratulations on the baby, there is no problem in breastfeeding the baby while you are having cold, and Paracetamol and Sinarest are likely to be safe. just take it after you have breast feed the baby.
