My 3-year-old has had a fever, cough, and cold since last Saturday, and I've been giving him Crocin, Augmentin DDS, and Amrox Junior. But he still seems to have the same symptoms. I'm really worried and not sure what else to do. Can you suggest any changes or next steps?

Cold is caused by a virus. Antibiotics will not help.

My daughter has an infection around her nasal passage and she's had a fever for 3 days now. The doctor prescribed Azitus and she's taken two doses so far, one yesterday afternoon and another today. The fever still hasnt gone down, so I'm just wondering how long it usually takes for this to work?
