Hello,
I can understand your concern. Based on the symptoms of your daughter, the prescription given by the treating doctor seems to be adequate to eliminate the infection and getting relief in symptoms of cold and cough.
When antibiotics are prescribed, it takes 24-48 hours for the medicines to reach the desired blood levels and show desired effects in the body. As the antibiotics are started from yesterday only, I would advise you that you wait one more day for them to work in the body and help with the infection.
Till then, combiflam suspension will relief in fever and other symptoms. If your daughter does not feel better after tomorrow, I recommend that you should consult the treating doctor again.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish your daughter feels better soon.
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
