Hi - my son is 5 years old, he has been having cough for last 3 weeks, yesterday went to doctors office. They have given amoxycillin as he has pain in his body/ head ache & mucus. He is feeling restless, seems he is feeling heat in his legs. He has taken the medicine twice today.
Hi, Amoxicillin is an antibiotic which means that the doctor has found a bacterial infection. If the child suffers from body ache and headache you can give him acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup every 8 hours to resolve the body ache and headache. If he is having cough with phlegm then you can use a cough expectorant as Murine. You can also use a cough suppressant as Dextromethorphan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
