Needs some investigations

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

Fever with cough and cold is a matter of concern especially if the child is on antibiotic.
There could be a possibility of malaria, typhoid or chest infection not responding to azee.
In my opinion, you should get CBC, Typhidot Igm and Malarial antigen test done.
Continue same drugs, if no improvement in 24 hours then antibiotic needs to be changed according to reports.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
