Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms are suggesting that you had some viral infection followed by secondary bacterial infection which has lead to the problems like coughing, yellow color sputum and easy fatigue.
As you are having a 5 month old child in the house, youmay transmit the infection to him. I would suggest you to follow
1. Oral Antibiotics like Tab Bactoclav, 625 mg, twice daily for 5 days.
2. Syp Mucolytics
3. Steam inhalation with Vapocaps.
Thank you.
