Hi,
I will list below the warning signs. If your child experienced any of the warning signs then seek medical care as soon as possible. The warning signs include: 1) coughing 2) chest pain 3) trouble breathing 4) feeling extremely tired you should keep a close eye on him for the next 24 hours.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
