Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your son is having fever for last 4 days for which your doctor has prescribed antibiotics for your son and the temperature has not come down yet. Other symptoms are suggesting me that he is having upper respiratory tract infection.

I would suggest you to wait for another 2-3 days by that time your sons symptoms will come down. If the symptoms are not coming down even after this duration you need to test for blood culture to find out the organism and treat them appropriately.

So wait for some more days the symptoms will come down, in addition to the antibiotics you can give him Tab Paracetamol and Mucolytic syrup.
Thank you.
