Hi,

If he is not having fever now, I think you need not worry, it is probably a viral respiratory infection which will get better in 5-7 days. I am not aware of the medications you already got. For such cases, I used to give antihistamine like levocetirizine and broncholdilators like salbutamol to help cold and cough.

If not getting better in 3 more days, or if the child is lethargic and not taking feeds as usual, kindly get back to your doctor as we may need addition or changing of antibiotics and nebulization. Give ORS solution or salted rice water after each episode of diarrhea.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
