<bot>: Hello, Your child had fever and cough. The fever has come down, but the cough is persisting. Now WiFi is an antibiotic used for bacterial infections. If your kid had a bacterial infection his fever would not have decreased without using an antibiotic. His cough could be due to other reasons - wheezing, postnatal Chat Doctor.  Please have him evaluated by a pediatrician who will examine his throat and chest and then give appropriate medicines. Even in the future I will advise that you should not use antibiotics without a doctors prescription.  Hope that helps. Preeti
