Hello dear.
Its probably upper respiratory tract infection with associated ear infection.
If you have used zithomax for more than 48 hrs,i would recommend to change the medicines.
Give him syp. Cefixime DS(200 mg/5 ml)
5 ml once daily for 7 days along with syp. Zinc 5 ml once daily for 10 days.
Also try some home remedies like home made yogurt mixed with rice and lentil cereal(khichri).Its a natural probiotic.
Give him green tea made with 5-6 mint leaves and a pinch of fennel seeds boiled in a glass of water and strained.
Hope it will help. Stay blessed :-)
