hi
with your details you mentioned it 10 month old child with respiratory illness most commonly induced by virus mainly RSV virus. so don't need to panic but only fever is the issue if the child unable to take breast milk or lethargic look you need to approach ER for further management . otherwise may need to nebulize with humidifier as physician recommendations after seeing the child
