Place your ear against the back or chest,if you hear whistling sounds in the breathing,that means he's asthmatic,and needs evaluation and treatment by your paediatrician. If not,give steam inhalations 5-6 times a day for cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal blockade or increased cough on lying down.
