Pediatrician,  's  Response
Most of the cough and cold in children is caused due to certain viruses. Viral infections do not respond to antibiotics. Sometimes, doctors prefer adding antibiotics like clavam forte to be on the safer side keeping bacterial infection in account. The medicines are proper and you would have to be a bit patient.

I do not know if the dose of Sumol DS containing paracetamol is proper. It is to be given at 15 mg/kg/dose. Meftal P reduces fever even more effectively. Sponging with water at normal temperature would be helpful. You may also give some anti allergic like levocetirizine and some steam inhalation.
