Hello,
It may be due to Lower respiratory tract infection.
For further assessment you may require complete hemogram, chest X Ray after pediatrician consultation.
You may require antibiotics after consultation.
Continue nebulization as advised.
Take hygienic food and water.
Keep him hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further...
