Brief Answer:
Complete the course.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From the facts you have posted,I would suggest you to complete the 5 days course of taxim- o syrup as your child is still having mild fever with cough and it is not advisable to stop drug course at the middle especially if it is a antibiotic.
So,better to get a new syrup and give it for another 2 days to complete full course.
Syrup paracetamol can also be given for fever on sos basis or as directed by your doctor.
Hope this helps.
