WELCOME TO HEALTHCAREMAGIC
Your child has fever, shortness of breath, dehydrated, and he is on (oral?) antibiotics and nebulization. In spite he is not getting better.
Your child probably has Bronchitis or pneumonia either viral/bacterial. If the oral antibiotics are not relieving the temperature, he needs intravenous antibiotics. He also needs humidified oxygen, intravenous fluids. He needs hospitalization ASAP.
