Hello. This is Dr Rubal Jain (M.D Pediatrics, Lactation Consultant).
According to your son’s reports, he seems to be having a bacterial infection and most definitely requires antibiotics.
The choice of antibiotics suggested to you by your doctor mostly covers throat and nose infections. If that is the concerned area then I suggest you continue these drugs and give it 2-3 days to show its effect in the body.
If your son has no fever by day 3, then you shall complete the entire antibiotic course of 7 days. If there is no response in 2-3 days, you will require another consultation.
