Brief Answer:
Switch to milder medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
He can be switched to milder medicine like cetrizine syrup once daily dose. And watch his symptoms. Flu is going around and also coronavirus. Rest and warm fluids needed. Isolate the kid from other family members. During cold and cough, immunity of a person decreases. If chest congestion suspected then amoxicillin maybe needed after consulting doctor.
