Cold and cough in 2 months baby
Hello Doc,
My 2 months baby is suffering from cold, cough n Nasal congestion since last 3 weeks (21 days). Fever is around 98.6 measured axillary. His paediatrician had checked and told chest is clear and gave Mucolite drop for 15 days. Sinarest AF for 5 days along with nasal saline drops.
But still his cough is not reduced. Now his doc is advising to take antibiotics ( Mox drops) for 5 days as it's already 3 weeks.
Is it necessary to give antibiotics to such small baby (when his chest is clear and fever of 98). Please advise.
