Dear lybrate-user, all the medications you mention- azithromycin, zinc and folic acid supplements, paracetamol and cetirizine are deemed as safe while breastfeeding. The loss of sense of smell will resolve on its own in time. Who recommend that you continue breastfeeding even if you are covid positive. If you have any more doubts, your obstetrician would be the best person to clarify them for you. Best wishes.

Hello lybrate-user. Kindly go for test first. It is better if you isolate yourselves from the baby. You can take the medicines.
