Hi,

I am sorry for the situation your son is going through.

From what you are describing, most probably, he is having cold with laryngitis (as you are hardly hearing his voice).
I advise to:
- give him OTC anti-hystaminic syrup
- give nose anti-congestant medication
- apply cold balm on his chest and back
- aerosol-therapy can help
- give him anti-pyretic medication at bedtime

If no improvement, should send to ER for immediate evaluation and specific treatment.
Wish fast recovery!
