What Causes Hacking Cough, Sneezing And Fever In Infants After Intake Of Antibiotic?

My daughter (almost three) got a bad cold after her older sibling. The doctor sent a prescription antibiotic for her as the same with the older sibling. She started taking it Thursday night, what started as a very bad cough like hacking all night and sneezing she now started running a fever today? Could this be from the antibiotic, an allergic reaction or its not strong enough?

Hi,
Nothing to worry, it seems that this is due to having lower respiratory tract infection following by upper respiratory tract infection.
Continue with antibiotic medicine, within a day or two she will better once antibiotic will start working.
If there is no improvement the consult pediatrician and get examined.
Ok and take care.
