Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
Your child is suffering from URTI, I presume.
It may be viral or bacterial.
If viral usually subsides with symptomatic treatment and the fever is short.
If bacterial fever persists and it needs treatment with antibiotic.
It subsides with treatment within 5-7 days.
The drug of choice is Amoxycillin with clavulanate.
Hope this answer serves your purpose.
Feel free to ask any more doubts if required.
