Hi,

Fever, cough and cold is most commonly caused by viruses and no need of antibiotics. Here, fever subsides in 2-3 days while cough and cold may take an additional 3-4 days.

We give antibiotics suspecting bacterial infection if the fever is not getting down after 2-3 days, breathing difficulty sets in, cough is wet with yellowish sputum or yellowish nasal discharge persist. So your doctor has given you the apt advise, no need to worry.

Asthafen that he is already on, can be continued as such for the time being.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
