As a Pediatrician, i advise that you wear a mask when around and feeding your child. Whatever infection you have, if it's not a simple allergy, will pass on to your child as you are the closest in contact with him.
Next Steps
Wear a mask and consult a Gynecologist or general physician
Health Tips
Make sure the medicine prescribed doesnt pass through the breast milk
