Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HealthcarMagic.

Your son probably caught some upper respiratory infection. Before it gets severe you should start off an antibiotic . Cough syrups alone are not to be used when he has fever or infection.

Please visit your pediatrician , he may do a blood test upon which he ll start antibiotic.

Take care.
