Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
You pediatrician has given correct medicine.
But as there is no response after 4 days better to go for a x-ray and if necessary admit him to hospital by consulting your doctor.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
