Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, your child probably has lower respiratory tract infection and that's why he is not getting relief. In my opinion, you should give antibiotic like amoxyclav 5 ml three times a day for 3 days along with the drugs you are taking. However, since this is a prescription medicine, i advice you to meet the local doctor to confirm the diagnosis. Take care.
