Hello dear!
In my opinion you should see a pediatrician to have a detailed physical examination of your child.
Till then try some home remedies like 1 teaspoon of honey in luke warm water once daily. Give him steam inhalation atleast twice a day.
Give him syp. paracetamol for fever according to the weight of the child and avoid cold and sour drinks like soda,soft drinks,tamirind etc
give him fresh fruit juices and plenty of fluids to help getting rid of viral infection soon.
Hope it will help.
wishing your child good health :-)
