good morning, the above said medicines are appropriate, if the child is not improving despite giving these medicines , then u should look for signs of pneumonia- hurried breathing, chest retractions, labored breathing. kindly review with ur doctor, i would advice u to get a chest x ray for the child and other basic blood tests to rule out pneumonia. thank u .
