Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that your doctor has advised Amoxicillin to your child dont worry Amoxicillin is safest drug can be given to children , in fever , cold cough,
You can give him also , if he wont get releif in 3 days then consult physician for that
Hope this will help you.
