Hello Doctors, my son is having a cough and cold , as we are travelling from hyderabad to Delhi. A doctor has suggested the antibiotic Syp augmentin ( 457 mg /5 ml) 5 ml tds for 7 days and citrizine 5mg as my son was having a painful boil also on elbow, so doctor said that this antibiotic will work on both of these problems, I want to ask if this antibiotic and citrizine are suitable for kids, because I can't see his cough improving.
Please answer
Thank you
