General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear welcome to HCM and thanks for choosing us.

I share your concerns about your son. Your son has got infection in nose, throat and bronchi or in lungs. I treat my patients with such symptoms in following ways
1 sputum (cough) microscopic examination to identify the organisms
2 a course of antibiotics (penicillin group)
3 decongestants
4 antihistamines
5 paracetamol tablet for fever
6 expectorant cough syrup
7 saline gargles
Since most of these medicines are not available over the counter, you need to visit a general practitioners or ENT specialist for examination and request about these. Your son will be fine in 5 days.

I hope my reply will benefit you. Please write to us or me for more questions. I wish good health to your son. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
