Hello. Thank you for your question. I am sorry your aon is not well. Fever and cough are common symptoms in this age group. Yhr vauses range from simple virus to bacterial pneumonia. If your son is struggling to breath, or the fever lasta beyond 48 hours, or he doesn't urinate for 24 hours ( a sign of dehydration), I recommend consulting with your doctor.
