Hello,
As the cough persists for more than five days. Antibiotics can be started empirically preferably amoxicillin. Consult a pediatrician and get evaluated, An X-ray chest is required to look for any consolidation or features suggestive of pneumonia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
