Hello,
It could be a simple respiratory tract infection. Consult a pediatrician and get evaluated. Paracetamol syrup and cough syrups like salbutamol will be the first-line drugs. In severe cases, antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
