Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Hazziness on chest x ray is suggestive of pneumonia (lung infection) more.
He is having chronic cough and cold (more than 2 weeks) which is not improving with medications.
So possibility of pneumonia is more likely.
He will need higher antibiotic and other supportive treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
