Hello,

As per your clinical history is concerned, take all the medications as per your treating Doctor's advice and complete its course. Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:

1) Try to wash your hands. Thorough and frequent hand-washing is an effective way to prevent many common infections. Or use alcohol-based hand sanitizers if soap and water aren't readily available.

2) Contain your coughs and sneezes. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or a cough. To avoid contaminating your hands, cough or sneeze into a tissue.

3) Try to avoid crowds with the baby. By avoiding crowds during peak flu season, you reduce your chances of infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
