Cold with congestion, green mucus, and clogged ears often suggests a respiratory infection, so rest, fluids, steam inhalation, and nasal care are helpful. If fatigue is severe, fever persists, or symptoms last beyond a few days, you should consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

In an 8-year-old, the Augmentin dose depends on body weight and the severity of the throat infection, so it should only be given as prescribed by a doctor. Augmentin DDS, DRS, or DUO are different strengths, and the doctor will choose the suitable one rather than one that is generally better.

A cough lasting 4 days is often viral and does not always need an antibiotic, as antibiotics only work for bacterial infections. It is best to consult your doctor to determine the cause before starting antibiotics, to avoid unnecessary use and antibiotic resistance.
