It is important to consult your paediatrician before adding any medication. Mox 250 mg Syrup (Amoxicillin) is an antibiotic and should only be given if a bacterial infection is confirmed. Continue giving Calpol 250 mg Oral Suspension (Paracetamol) and Meftal P Suspension (Mefenamic Acid) for pain and fever relief. Make sure your child stays well-hydrated, monitor for worsening symptoms such as persistent high fever, rash, or difficulty breathing, and seek medical attention promptly if any of these occur.
