A moderate PDA would not close after 5 days. It will need a device closure. Medication won’t help for a 1.7mm PDA Now a days device closure is very safe. Do not delay it otherwise baby will have repeated chest infections and slow growth also the RA and RV will keep dilating.
Next Steps
Consult a paediatric cardiologist and get a device closure done. It is safe
