Hello.

I just read through your question. This can be very frustrating. The keys are his appetite, his growth, and fever. If he is feeding reasonably well, gaining weight and height at a normal pace, and is without persistent fevers, the symptoms will eventually resolve and he will be fine. If any of these things are not normal, however, there could be a problem. If that happened, I recommend consulting with a pediatric pulmonologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Eric Goldstein
