Hi, you gave incomplete info about your child's illness. Based on that it difficult to conclude about antibiotics. Other symptomatic treatment you can start. Anti cold medication, if throat pain then throat soothing agents,and Crocin if fever comes. Consult local pediatrician if symptoms not relieved or get worsen...
