Hello
You didn't mention the age of child , as all these symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Primary complex i.e. tuberculosis of children , diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray examination as well as sputum , blood for cbc , ESR ( if very high i.e. 100 mm 1st hour strongly suggestive of TB ).
2Bronchiectasis , as get sputum for culture and blood for drug sensitivity test for confirmation .
3 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis . Patient usually develop whistling sound ( wheezing ) , if accompanied with bacterial infection there develop mucus .
Deal as mentioned above .
However , there are so many other possibilities like lung abscess etc.
