Should the child be treated for mild cough?

Patient's question:

Child had mild cough on January 5th, didn't eat dinner, only drank soy milk. On January 6th, slept well but complained of bloated stomach pain and asked for manual massage. Drank soy milk for breakfast, didn't want dinner at noon, drank soy milk instead, then vomited three times, fever rose to 38.1°C. At 8 PM that evening, fever reached 38.8°C. On January 7th, went to the hospital for a detailed finger blood test. The test results matched the medication prescribed by the doctor for intravenous drip. By January 9th, no fever and almost no cough. How long should I continue taking Oseltamivir, Clindamycin Palmitate Hydrochloride? Thank you.
