Suggest Treatment For Fever And Cough In A Child

Hello my child was suffering from bad fever with temperatures varying btw 101 to 103. I was prescribed calpol 120, advent syrup 228.5mg and ascoril LS. I tried the same medication for 2 days, But these didnt help much. so I went to another paediatrician he gave my child an injection after checking his temp (103). He prescribed us metal, grilinctus-BM and pecef 100. We used the medication, but the fever used to come down when we gave him meftal and after some time (4 to 5hrs) he s again the same. This continued for 2 to 3 days and later the fever gradually decreased and he s normal now by God s grace. However his cough as still not subsided and the worst thing is he as stopped eat anything. He drinks lots of water and mothers milk only but refuses to take any solid food. We are adding glucose in water too so that his levels don t go down. My wife and me are very worried regarding this and are very confused as to what could have gone wrong. As the medicines killed his Appetite or is this coz of the fever. Can you please help us we are very worried about our child he hasn t eaten solid food past 5 days and has become weak too.
