Hi,
Is he having any fever? Taking breastfeeds? How is cough now? If no fever, taking breast feeds well, and cough is decreasing, we need not worry. Appetite will take 1-2 weeks to become normal after any infections. If chesty cough continues, fever still there, or if he develops breathing difficulty, kindly review with pediatrician as this might need a higher antibiotic.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
