Hi,
Thanks for asking query on health care magic.
Azithral 100 mg /day for 3 days is sufficient.
As the baby is 8 months old better to consult pediatrician before giving antibiotics.
In addition he may need some cough syrup .
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.
Take care
