Hello,
I think your child is having something more complicated than a cold, maybe bronchitis or pneumonia because it is lasting too much.
I think he needs antibiotics except aerosol treatment. Azithromycin suspension can also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
