HI ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
The symptom of breathlessness of your son points to some bronchospasm in your son, which might occur due to any allergy including cough and cold. This might need some kind of nebulisation for fast relief, apart from the usual antibiotics and bronchodilator drugs prescribed by your treating doctor. If however the breathing problem increase, then I would advise you to take him to the nearest emergency room of a hospital for emergency care.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your son's problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
