Hello dear
Thanks for your query.
It will take at least two to three days for child to respond to infection.
Already your child is on antibiotics , wait for response for one or two days more.
If symptoms are worsening, high grade fever, altered sensorium then consult doctor.
My suggestion would be wait for one more day, give regular breast feeding to baby.
Regards.
