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.

Need more clarity and details of symptoms.Post viral cough can last upto 2-3weeks.If the symptoms aren’t coming down,you may consult a paediatrician in your current town.So that child can be examined to see if the cough is just a post viral cough or is anything else wrong
