Brief Answer:
Give cough syrup like chericof

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Can understand your concerns.

Cough and cold for 5 days suggests upper respiratory tract infection.

In my opinion, you can give cough syrup like syrup chericof 5 ml three times a day for 3 days. If cough persists then antibiotic like cedpodoxime needs to be given.

If cough persists then get child examined by a doctor.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome once again.

The dose of antibiotic is based on weight.

I am very sorry but as per policy can't tell the dose of antibiotic. For this you have to meet the local doctor.

Take care.
