Thanks for writing to us.
Based on your description, it looks like your daughter has a viral upper respiratory infection along with gastroenteritis.
The cold should settle in a few days.
It is better to continue medicines as advised by your Pediatrician. Along with that for sneezing and cold, you can try antihistamines like Cetrizine which I usually prescribe in my clinic for such patients. I usually prescribe Cetirizine syrup 2 ml twice daily for a few days for such patients.
If child worsens or if there is no improvement in a day or two, better to get him reexamined by your doctor.

Ok Doc. Her Gastroentritis is normal now after having 3 days of Cefixime Antibiotics and Bifilac.
But she is getting irritated with runny nose and sneezing and crying out frequently.
Since she is 10 months old only, can i start off with Cetrizine 2ml twice daily from today ? I guess that will help her sleep also
