Brief Answer:
Safe to start Antibiotic syrup
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
As per the history described, it is okay to continue sinarest for another 3 days.
At the same time it is important to rule out lower respiratory infection, considering his fast breathing.This can be assessed by an X Ray chest .
Since he is active , there is nothing much to worry about.
A 5 day course of antibiotic syrup will be helpful .
I generally prescribe Syrup Augmentin(Co-AmoxyClav) 1 tsp 2 to 3 times a day for 3 days. Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe it to your baby.
Antibiotic syrup can be started on a empirical/presumptive basis as well.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
