Brief Answer:
Visit a pediatrician...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

As the symptoms are persisting beyond a week, it is ideal to visit his pediatrician. Sometimes such cough and cold are related to allergy / seasonal change; but in a few relatively rare instance, the symptoms could be related to serious bacterial infection. A good clinical examination will help us differentiate. So please consult his pediatrician.

In the meanwhile, I would start him on Syp Ascoril flu kidz 2.5ml twice a day for symptomatic treatment.

Hope this helps.

Regards
