A member asked:
I have a four month old who has a cold. he is on ammoxicillian, but has a chesty, phlemy cough. he broke out in a cold sweat w/ no fever. e.r.?

Symptomatic care: Colds will not respond to antibiotics.Offer symptomatic care in the form of nasal suction, nose drop, vaporizer and fluids.The phlegm cough is probably due to a post nasal drip , so help him out by elevating his mattress instead of lying flat.
