Brief Answer:
Wait and watch

Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Thank you for your post.
This could be VIRAL infection.
Wait and watch for few more days. It will subside on its own. If it doesn't subside in the next 3-5 days, you might need blood investigations. You can continue Ascoril syrup for cough.
No need to continue antibiotics.
Hope this helps you.

Kindly get back to us if you have further query.

Take care. Bye.
