What if we have COVID and have a 6 week old baby?

Question

My spouse and I tested positive for COVID and we have a six week old baby. So far she is fine with no symptoms. We have had symptoms for 4 days. we have very few symptoms. We are fine, only my husband has lost his sense of taste and smell. It was more for the baby that I was worried. This morning she sneezes and seems to start coughing but she has no fever and is fine. I do nasal hygiene with saline solution for her too This morning she sneezes, coughs at certain times and seems to have secretions in her throat and not in her nose. But no fever and good condition is drinking well too

Hello Mrs., First of all, you need to take care of yourself and your spouse. If you describe your symptoms in detail and the options you have tried, I can advise you. Otherwise, just monitoring your baby should be enough. I would also recommend wearing the mask inside the house for the next 10 days. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist Thanks for the feedback, sorry for my delay! You did well with the nasal hygiene followed by the aspiration of secretions with a baby fly, I encourage it as often as necessary as well as at least 30 minutes before the feeds and bedtime. Continue to monitor his general condition and encourage him to drink. I will be available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
