Hello,
I suggest you to get your son vaccinated every year in autumn season for influenza and pneumococcal as it gets aggravated by cold weather and sometimes persists the whole year on and off.
Apart from vaccine, I suggest you keep him away from dust, strong fragrances, pollens and cold weather. You should give him a proper healthy diet and avoid junk foods as it may result in weakness and weight loss of your child.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
