Hello dear.
I would like to have a detailed history regarding your child's symptoms.
Is there also history of vomiting??If yes please urgently go to the hospital and get him examined in detail by an expert pediatrician.IN the absence of vomiting,one can think of sinusitis or simple viral flu.
Give him Paracetamol 250 mg/5ml (3 ml 4-6 hourly for fever and a good anti histamine like levocetrizine 5 ml at night along with steam inhalation preferably at night before bed time.
Get him examined by a pediatrician if it didnt settle with thesemedications.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
