Hi..
From your description I understand your son has got a possible lower respiratory tract infection.You can give him Tylenol.Apple juice also can be given. But the need for Albuterol treatment has to be decided based on the progression of his symptoms. If he has persistent cough or difficulty in breathing or fast breathing you can go ahead with Albuterol treatment. If you are doubtful regarding his symptoms you can consult your pediatrician and get it done.
