dear user

about symptoms of your son your son has bacterial infection that causes these symptoms....your son took the antibiotic but there is suggestion of secondery bacterial infection occur........the wheezy chest and cough and crying refer to have chest infection and should be treated ........you should do x ray chest to diagnose any lung problems or complications ..........the management should include nebulizer inhalation that you could discuss that with your doctor .........ventolin is bronchodilator but it may not relief wheezy chest alone ........you can give hime mucophylline syrup and prednisolone syrup as it has good effect for wheezy chest .......
discuss with your doctor to do antibiotic sensitivity test to detect most effective antibiotic........avoid exposure of your child to cold air ..also you should refer him to ent doctor to see if there is ear infection causing ear pain that may makes him crying as it is common problem with this age
about eye secretions it suggest eye infection and you can give him tobramycin or erythromycin eye drops and it will improve

about the food it has no effective role in these symptoms but try to lemit egg food and fish food



wish your child healthy life
