My 48-day-old baby has had a cold, a runny/stuffy nose, and a cough for the past 15 days. He was given TAXIM injections, but there is no improvement. What should I do?

Your baby's symptoms lasting 15 days without improvement despite antibiotic injections suggest the need for urgent medical reassessment.
The cold, runny nose, and cough in a very young infant are often caused by viral infections, which do not respond to antibiotics like TAXIM (cefotaxime). Lack of improvement may indicate a viral illness, a resistant bacterial infection, or another underlying issue needing further evaluation.
Please consult a pediatrician promptly to ensure your baby receives the appropriate care and to prevent complications. If breathing worsens or your baby becomes very sleepy or unresponsive, seek emergency care immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand your 48-day-old baby has been having a cold, runny/stuffy nose, and cough for 15 days, and the TAXIM injections haven't helped. To give you the best advice, can you please tell me your baby's gender?
