Avoid cough SYP, also cefixime is not necessary. Most likely it is a viral infection and this will go in a week or so. Just keep the child hydrated. You can give nasal saline drops in case of nasal block. Coughing 5-6 times a day is absolutely normal for any individual. Don't be too bothered if your child is active and feeding well.

It's better to avoid cough syrups below 2 years. Other treatments can be given like nebulization. Please take a second opinion

Yes better avoid those meds. If the fever is more than 101 we can think of antibiotics. Keep the child warm. Give warm food and water

Sorry to inform you that your more worried about only cough syrup but why not Antibiotic Cefixime. Your just giving unnecessarily antibiotic too. Just give Honitus syrup for cough that's it.
