Hi, till the age of 2 years, children are very prone to get upper respiratory tract infections. Start a course of antibiotic in form of Syrup Augmentin(5ml/450mg) 2.5 ml thrice a day for 5 days. Also give him Syrup Ambrolite S 4 ml thrica a day for 5 days to relieve his cough and sputum production. Syrup Cetrizine(5mg/5ml) 2.5 ml once daily at night. If the child has fever, Give syrup Crocin 5 ml SOS. Keep good hygiene and give him good nutritious food. Give plenty of water or ORS syrup(Electral) to maintain hydration. If condition deteriorates, consult a pediatrician asap.
Thanks and regards.
