hello,
ARI is nothing but ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTION.And that is the reason for the symptoms in your son.ARI includes upper respiratory tract infection orlower resiratory tract infections and after diagnosis the treatment will be given accordingly with age of the child.You didnt mentioned your sons age and if he is under five years then amoxicillin is the first line treatment.Tab.azee can also be a good choice of respitarory infections and even for uncomplicated typhoid.Thank you.
