Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Recurrent chest infections are quite common in this changing season.
If fever is not responding in three to four days of medication then one should investigate the child in terms of ESR, CBC, Typhi dot test, chest x ray and malaria antigen to rule out any infection and accordingly baby should be treated.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
