Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The baby needs an expert pediatrician (the persistent fever & cough indicate respiratory infection not responding to the given antibiotic). For a detailed examination, investigations like blood xxx, sputum culture & sensitivity test & x ray chest if needful. Followed by effective antibiotic & adjuvant medicines &B. complex supplement. Baby may also be allergic to banana..causing cough. Changing her diet may help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
