yes, whenever you are sick, your body begins making antibodies for that germ, your baby will get those antibodies through your breastmilk aqnd will be less likely to get the illness.

Absolutely!
If you are sick, first off, baby has already been exposed to whatever you have before you showed symptoms. Secondly, breastfeeding will transfer some immunities to whatever you have to baby! If mom is sick, continuing to breastfeed is the BEST thing she can do!
Withholding your breastmilk during an illness increases
the possibility that baby will get sick, and deprives baby
of the comfort and superior nutrition of nursing.

Yes, it is ok. Just stick with one of the medications your doctor said was ok. Your baby will get anything he needs from you to overcome any sickness.
