Cough and cold not curing after 1 week
My 1 year old baby boy had fever, cough and cold since last 8 days, we had an online consultation with a pediatrician and he prescribed medicines, after 2 days fever subsided but cough and cold increased so we visited a nearby pediatrician and he changed his cough drops to syrup. We gave him all his medicines and his 5 days antibiotic course but still his cough and cold is not improving, what should we do? I'm really worried for my baby, please help.
