Her symptoms include headache, body ache, throat pain (difficulty in swallowing) , fever that goes away on taking Zerodol P tablets and then comes back after the effect of medicine is gone.

Based on the symptoms you described — fever (99–101°F), headache, body ache, sore throat, and temporary relief after medication — it most likely suggests a viral infection, commonly referred to as Viral Fever or a viral upper respiratory infection such as Acute Pharyngitis.
Since you recently had a similar illness and recovered, it is quite possible that the infection has spread within the household, which is common with viral illnesses. These infections usually last 3–5 days and the fever may reduce after medicines like Zerodol‑P but return once the effect wears off, which is typical in viral fevers.
Being a breastfeeding mother does not usually worsen the illness, and in most cases she can continue breastfeeding safely.
Next Steps
• Continue fever control with paracetamol-based medicines as prescribed (usually safe during breastfeeding).
• Ensure adequate hydration, rest, and light diet.
• Warm saline gargles 3–4 times daily can help with throat pain.
• Monitor the fever for the next 48 hours.
• If any of the following occur, she should see a doctor and may need tests:
• Fever persisting beyond 3–4 days
• Fever above 102°F
• Severe throat pain or difficulty swallowing liquids
• Vomiting, rash, or breathing difficulty
Health Tips
• She should drink plenty of warm fluids (soups, warm water, herbal tea).
• Maintain good hand hygiene and mask use if there are other family members around.
• Continue breastfeeding, but wear a mask while feeding if she has throat symptoms to reduce infection risk to the baby.
• Ensure adequate rest, as fatigue can delay recovery.
If you’d like, you can book an online consultation so I can review her symptoms in detail and guide you on the right medicines that are completely safe during breastfeeding and help her recover faster.

Looks like viral fever spreading in the family very common. Since she is breastfeeding, avoid self-medication and do not continue Zerodol P without proper advice. Please consult me on Practo for safe treatment for her and the baby!
