Hello,
No, I don't think your son's case is an emergency. I think you should send him to ENT doctor.
Meanwhile, until you see ENT doctor, I advise him to:
- apply the nasal saline solution to clear them out
- take oral antiseptic
- over the counter cough medicines
- take plenty of fluids (water, juice, tea)
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
