He is 3 and half years old. He is on an antibiotic syrup prescribed by doctor for an ear infection which he got 1 week and 1 day ago

Dont give any cough syrup .. use nebuliser with budecort twice a day .. it'll help .. if cough persists try to check with nearby doctor if he requires any investigations..don't worry .. he'll get better .children tend to develop immunity when u don't frequently use antibiotics ..
