Dear First of all please be clear that the medicine doses are always calculated as per body weight of the child for a proper response. Had I been your treating doctor,,i would have advised calpol(125/5) to be given thrice daily for another 24 hours with a antibiotic may be Azithral syp along with a cough medicine may be kofarest paediatric for two days more. However please consult your treating doctor with a clinical examination and for any blood investigation if required. Hope this helps Most welcome for further queries.
