Breastfeed. Your immunities are transferred to your new born. Also, see a doctor, you might actually need antibiotics

I was told breastfeeding helps, but the baby will still have antibodies from you. I had the flu when I had my first daughter, breastfed and she was fine. With my second daughter I went into labor while my oldest was in ICU for RSV & her heart condition. I didn’t breastfeed with her so I was worried she would catch it from my oldest daughter & husband being between hospitals seeing us. I asked the doctors and they told me she still had antibodies from me that will keep her from getting sick.
