Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your son has upper respiratory tract infection with fever. He should take broad spectrum antibiotics like augmentine, azithromycin, cefadroxil or levofloxacin. You can take any of these antibiotics according to advice. Azithromycin dose for adult is 500 mg once a day. For fever he can take paracetamol. Antibiotics are strictly prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
