Hello,
YOu are suppose to complete the prescribed course since giving incomplete treatment may produce resistant strains of organisms affecting your child. Try encouraging him and giving him fluids and diet orally but if it fails and his condition gets worse i.e he develops high grdae fever despite of medication, he develops seizures, he becomes lethargic, take him to the nearby by hospital.

i hope it helps.
