Please stop these medications immediately and consult a paediatrician. Giving two strong antibiotics, Zifi 50 (Cefixime) and Gudcef (Cefpodoxime), together is unsafe and unnecessary. Additionally, combining multiple cough syrups increases the risk of an accidental overdose of ingredients like antihistamines. Since a persistent dry cough is often caused by viral infections or allergies, antibiotics will not help unless a specific bacterial infection is diagnosed. A 10-day cough requires a doctor to listen to your child's chest to identify the exact cause. For now, keep your child comfortable and hydrated with warm fluids, and seek professional medical evaluation for a safe, targeted treatment plan.
