Can I Take Amoxicillin For High Fever And Blood While Coughing?

HI. My son is 4 yrs and 3 months old. Has had high grade fever (ovr 102F) for 3 days. Almost thrice a day. Doctor had been giving mefanamic acid suspension (Sos). at the end of 3rd day, amoxycilin has been started. He cougghed out bloody (dark red) mucus from his nose. Is this because of mefanamic acid and is it a cause of worry?
