How To Get Rid Of The Cough,cold And Fever?

This is Deepika, we have relocated to Bangalore from Delhi in June 2013. Since December 2013 my 2.5 year old son keeps on getting cough, cold, high fever in every 15 days. The Symptoms he gets are: •     Sneezing followed by running nose and cough •     Cough and cold followed by high fever for 3 -5 days •     High fever with no other symptoms for 3 -5 or even 7 days •     His cough starts with slightly wet and turns dry on second day and then takes 10 days to recover. •     Can’t sleep on almost 2 -3 days, even we elevate him The medicine administered on him: •     Bracrax •     Bricanyl •     Benadryl – Normal and for Dry Cough •     Nebulization: Duolin, Asthelin, Buedocort •     Antibiotics like: Nova max, Claribid Granuals etc. Every incident of this cough, cold and fever is almost sever. It has become a kind of distress situation for us because 10 days back his cough got so severe that we had to rush him to the hospital. He had severe dry cough and coughing every two seconds and had problem in breathing. Doctor said he was breathing from vain, so they immediately referred him to emergency room, where one shot of steroid and 3 rounds of Buedocort had been administered on him. After that doctor has recommended a month long nebulization with Duolin and Buedocort with a decreasing frequency. My question are: •     How safe is nebulization with all the above medicines for a toddler •     What are safe medicines go give to a child in above situation? •     Do you think that his immunity is low? Can we give something to him to increase his immunity? •     Any precautionary medicines can be given to him? Like some tonic? Please help
