Hi., I can understand your concern.
No need to worry.
You can put mask and feed him.
Avoid touching him if youre having any sneezing and cough.
Plan for antibiotics and supportive medication.

We cannot predict the possibility of your baby contracting fever from you However you can continue nursing (breastfeed )him .Antibodies to fight infection are also transferred from mother to child through breast milk. as baby is seven month old continue giving him supplementary food as usual along with the breast milk.
You can take paracetamol(available without prescription)tablet for your fever which is safer in breastfeeding
Before taking any other medicines you should consult with your doctor
Next Steps
You can connect with me or any other physician of your choice for further consultation.
