Brief Answer:
First take him to the clinic.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should first take him to clinic an get done clinical examination of respiratory system.
If doctor feels that he is having pneumonia, then you can should take him to emergency room for chest x ray an blood reports.
You have done right thing by giving him Tylenol.
Also tell him to drink plenty of fluids orally and keep himself hydrated.
Ask me him to do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Don't worry, he will be alright. First take him to clinic and then if needed take to emergency room.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
