Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
What he seem to be suffering is from viral infection i.e., common cold.
Give him paracetamol 300 mg thrice or four times a day after food for controlling fever.
Steam inhalation and tab. Levocetrizine 5mg twice a day after food for running nose.
He has to drink lots of water and have a soft diet.
If it still doesnt subside, take him to a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
