Brief Answer:
Antibiotics unlikely to help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections and antibiotics are ineffective in such cases and so I would advise against giving Taxim-O or Azithral without checking the blood counts. Antibiotics would not help and irrespective of antibiotics, it usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days. You can give her Relent or Allegra along with Brozeet. Meftal needs to be given only if there is fever.
You need to give steam inhalation to your child. It helps in reducing the congestion. Water vapor will reach deep inside and would help in diluting the cough and thus would provide relief. Use Nasoclear Saline Nasal Drops in case of nose block.
Hope I have answered your query.
