Thank you for posting your question. Fever cough especially when associated with cold in a 11 month old child is most likely to be viral. Some points that would favor it being viral is normal behavior in between fever spikes, presence of running nose or associated diarrhea etc. In such cases an antibiotic like azithromycin is usually not indicated. However, for the treatment of such conditions proper control of fever and symptomatic relief is all that is needed along with patience and monitoring of symptoms. In case you have started the course of azithromycin, completion of at least 3 days of the Chat Doctor.  As the cough is relieved by leveling, I suggest you continue that along with other homemade remedies like honey, ginger or warm water or milk with turmeric to sooth the throat. For the cold you could use any antihistamines
