As you have discussed in your history your son is most probably suffering from upper respiratory tract infection. For this you can give him syrup co-amoxiclav 2.5 ml three times daily or syrup cefixime-cv 2.5 ml twice daily or syrup co-trimoxazole 2.5 ml four time daily along with syrup febrex-plus or syrup ambroxol 2.5 ml three times daily for persistant cough with syrup vomikind or syrup ondansetron 2.5 ml twice daily for vomiting. As you have asked about co-trimoxazole I will say it is really very effective in this case. You can also nebulise your son with salbutamol nebulizer at your family doctor's clinic as it gives too much comfort to your child.
