Listen to doctor: Follow your doctors orders. Have him reevaluated after he recovers.

Treat/monitor: As long as your doc found no other issues, try the treatment & monitor the effects daily.As long as the kid has playful moments, eats & drinks enough to sustain activity & restful sleep, it should improve in time. If the pattern declines into poor activity & feeding or drinking, you may need a recheck. As long as the kid is taking fluids well enough to wet diapers every 6 hrs, he is stable.
