is it advisable to give antibiotic course twice in a month for a 10 year old boy
hi welcome to icliniq com your 10 year old son had a cough and fever which required augmenting and nebulization this means that the child has got wheezing with lower respiratory tract infection augmenting contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid which may cause diarrhea in some children so rightly the antibiotic needs to be changed you have been given zee which contains azithromycin antibiotic which has made the system better now there is a mild cough but it is wet or productive a productive cough may persist for some time as the infection which was earlier there in the chest of your child has formed mucus or phlegm which needs to come out from the body this productive cough will persist for some time even if you take an antibiotic in my opinion there is no need for any antibiotic now and you should only give cough syearup this productive cough will subside in one week just protect the child from cold temperature avoid cold drinks and ice cream I hope this helps
