Hi dear,
He was having an upper respiratory infection that now is progressing to lower respiratory infection(suggested by fever and cough).
If he do not have any breathing difficulty and is taking feeds, we need not worry as your doctor has already given antibiotics and other supportive measures. He will be alright in 3-5 days. Just complete the antibiotic course as suggested by your doctor.
Take him back to doctor, f he becomes lethargic, develops breathing difficulty or refuses to feed
Hope I have answered your query
Let me know if I can assist you further
