Fever and cough
I had fever 100.4 yesterday and cough, body ache, headache. I have taken dolo 650 so temperature got down at 99.8 again shoot at 100. After taking azithromicyn and paracetamol my cough settled down bit and also temperature at 98.9 which is stable now. Do I need to test for covid or it's seasonal flu? I have two month old baby.

Hi
As you have 2 months old baby you must be nursing
Please consult a doctor before you take medicines
As medicines you take can be secreted in breast milk
As of now continue paracetamol and azithromycin for 5 days as it’s helping you ( also azithromycin is secreted in breast milk in small amounts so monitor your child if he/she experience any discomfort or gastro symptoms)
