Hi,
It is all due to persistent infection so continue the medication as the doctor prescribed.
To avoid it further keep him clean, in good hygiene, feed her soup, juices to ensure good immunity and feed her boiled water.
There is nothing to worry he will relieve in a few days.
Remember in children, hygiene and diet have more role for health than drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
