I Am a breastfeeding mother to a 15 week old.. have tested positive for covid. I had fever for one day and have an itchy throat and no other symptoms. Should medication be taken for the itchy throat? If yes what are some medications that treat throat pain without affecting the breastfeeding process or my Lil one.
And Yes I am isolating with my Lil one, so anything that will make me drowsy is a Lil risky
