Hi...by what you quote I feel that your kid may be having a viral exanthmatous illness. 4 months is too early an age to get bacterial pharyngitis or sore throat. I suggest you get a rapid antigen testing done for the baby with throat swab and if it is negative, stop the antibiotics. Please do not use antibiotics without proper investigations and blood culture in this age group.
