How Long Should Asthalin Expectorant And Mox 250 Be Continued?

Sir, my 5 and a half year old son had cold, fever cough and congestion last week, now his fever and cold is almost finished but congestion remains. We consulted our local pediatrician that he recommended us to give him Asthaline Expectorant and Mox 250, so as a second opinion I would like to know how much more time I can continue with these two medicines, Plus he seems a little weak and less-hunger after these. Thank you.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...greetings from Chennai. if there is no wheeze and if the kid is not coughing severely and his sleep is not getting disturbed, I do not suggest any medicines usually in my practice. That too when the fever and cough are settling, there is no need to use an antibiotic like Mox250. I think he is recovering from a viral illness and suggest you to stop all drugs and he will get better by himself.
