Hi,
It seems that he might be having bacterial infection getting bad cough and high temperature.
He might require one course of antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Continue giving panadol for fever, body ache till it controls with antibiotic.
Give plenty of water.
give him complete rest.
Ok and take care.
