Also prescribed Advent syrup only if fever cont. after 3 days along with cong. My question- she had the same problem 20 days back and she took Advent forte antibiotic for 7 days.

No need to  give  give  antibiotics   unless Baby  is  so weak , high grade fever, Baby looks  ill  between  2fever  episodes  Just  give  cough syrp.  One  nasal drop  and  fever  medicine  And  just  wait  for  more 3 days  Cough  fever  and  running  nose  will  clear 
Next Steps
If above  problen persist  till  next  4days  then  consult  with  nearest  good  pediateician
