Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Your child probably has a condition called bronchiolitis which is the version of common cold in children. It is caused by a virus. Some antiallergics may be given but that is optional. Put some saline drops in both the nostrils. It would be best if you could give him some nebulisation or steam inhalation.
Hope that helps. Feel free to contact back in case of further queries.
