Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes the mentioned symptoms is of infectious disease by virus.

But such a infection is only for short time may be a day or so. You can take the paracetamol only for fever under your doctors guidance.

Plenty of water as much as you can drink will be beneficial.

Yes you can transfer it to your daughter. So better you van avoid the exposure. Usually the baby are protected with the antibodies from the mother. So baby may not be infected with it. But prevention is better than cure.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
