hi kindly contact your child's specialist as your child may be suffering from pneumonia or bronchiolitis. from the history it's looking more like bronchiolitis which is a self limiting illness in majority with some kids requiring hospitalisation for respiratory distress. hope I'm not scaring you, but you have to show him to a specialist as he is too young to have localised chestiness. take care.
I find this answer helpful
