Meanwhile my son, 18 months, is cranky since today morning and not taking food properly. He has a body temperature when touched at forehead and neck.

Kindly see that it will certainly need a detailed consult. Although the point that husband was positive and he has been with him in last week or so there will always be a chance of having Covid Positivity for both, yourself and the baby. But if intervened early with proper protocol based evaluation and management, the child should have minimal worries. But nevertheless, a proper consult is mandatory for further management plans.
Thanking you,
Dr Akshay P Jadhav
