Yes: Monitor your temperature, rest and drink fluids. You may have a flu like illness or COVID 19. In particular your newborn may be susceptible. I would suggest testing for both influenza and Coronavirus. If you experience wheezing, shortness of breath or prolonged cough > 3 weeks in duration, please contact your PCP. A chest radiograph may be obtained depending on the findings of your PCP.
