Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
What you did is correct. But taking him out in cold whether will increase problems.Instead remain indoor,give warm water to drink,give turmeric milk.Don't give chips,biscuits and chocolate.Give him mucolytic cough syrup like s mucolite and antipyretic to control fever.If breathless then nebulisation would help
Happy to help you
Best regards
