Most commonly this appears to be a viral upper respiratory infection/common cold. Continue saline nasal drops, steam/warm fluids and ensure good hydration. Honey 1 tsp at bedtime may help with cough (as child is >1 year). Paracetamol can be given if fever/discomfort occurs. Please monitor for fast breathing, wheezing, persistent high fever, poor feeding or unusual sleepiness. If symptoms worsen or persist beyond 5–7 days, kindly get him examined in person.

Get the child a good check up. Any moderate symptoms require examination to rule out serious or smouldering infections. He may require medication for relief of his symptoms.
