General & Family Physician,  's  Response
dear
I understand your concern for the little one.First of all kofarest pd is a antitussive or anti cough agent.Walamycin is a antibiotic for the gastro intestinal problem.
Feeding during night time suggest the baby may be having some pain in throat also.
Had I been the treating doctor I would have advised for an azithral oral drop as the antibiotic.
more over a regular clinical examination with certain investigations are a must at this age as babies progress very soon to more chest infection.
Hope this helps
most welcome for further queries.
