Cough due to infection
Hi
My mother is having very severe cough due to infection from past 15 days.
She used antibiotics and 80% cough reduced post medication
But she is still having some cough. Does that mean that infection is still there for my mother?
I have 15 days old, new born baby. Can my mother take care of my new born child with that mild cough?
Or is there chances of the infection to be spread with the mild cough
