So your child need iv antibiotics for 2-3 days and oral medication of paracetamol, probiotics, zinc. Cough video recording is very important as the medication is different for different types of cough.

Yes please give the medicines for cough and cold prescribed. You can take injections also as baby is not accepting oral medicines. No problems if baby is breastfeeding. Please consult directly for a second opinion as physical check up is needed.
