Hi dear,
Thanks for your query.
Your child is probably having an upper respiratory infection. You have started antibiotics and please do continue it for atleast five days. If fever has subsided then probably he is improving.
Cough and cold can be present for atleast one to two weeks. But as long as there is no fever and breathing difficulty you need not worry. You can try syrups like Cherricoff half teaspoon; it is usually available over the counter. Try nasal saline drops for nasal block.
While recovery his appetite can be low; but be assured that he will gain appetite after recovering from it. Just keep giving him some fluids like juices, milk, bread with jam, biscuits, water etc. Investigations are not suggestive of anything serious, they look fine.
Don't worry he will be alright soon. His appetite will improve.
If you have any other query I am happy to help or else close the query and kindly rate it.
