Hi, welcome to healthcare magic. It seems that your child is having pneumonia. Also, the haemoglobin is less which can lead to severe hypoxia. Please show the child to a paediatrician for the management of the problems. He might also require a blood transfusion depending upon the vital status. He will also require chest physiotherapy, bronchodilators and broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics which can be done in hospital setting. Please take a consultation regarding admission to paediatric care unit. Hope he will get well soon.
