Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should first consult pediatrician and get done chest x ray. As your child s all symptoms are suggestive of pneumonia.
And in children dosing of antibiotics are very specific. So pediatrician's dosing are needed.
So I advice you to consult pediatrician first rather than giving antibiotics yourself.
I find this answer helpful
