Breathing problem

My child is 3 years and 1 month old. When he is sleeping, his breathing rate is usually between 18 and 20 breaths per minute every time I did check up , and his breathing appears normal and comfortable during sleep. After he wakes up, when he is awake and calm, I checked his breathing rate and it is usually between 25 and 29 breaths per minute, again all time  I did check up Is this breathing rate normal for a healthy 3-year-old child? Why slow during sleeping .. should he need any evaluation

Changed medicines for high fever 103.6

Hello Doctor, my daughter Jannat is 1 year 10 months old and weighs around 10 kg. She developed fever, initially around 100.8°F, so I was giving Calpol. Her fever increased to 103.5°F, so I consulted her doctor again. He asked me to stop Calpol and changed her medicines. Earlier, she was treated with Meftal P, Ventimox-CV (antibiotic) and cough syrup. Now the doctor has prescribed Patmox (antibiotic), Sypara and Novrex-LS (cough syrup). He also gave a medicine/pill through the rectal area due to the high fever. Could you please confirm whether Patmox is safe, considering she recently had Ventimox-CV, and whether it is necessary? Is the rectal medicine safe? Since her fever reached 103.5°F, does she need any blood, urine or other tests?
