Your son is suffering from Acute Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.You don't need to ring a doctor out of hours. But try to see a pediatrician as soon as possible. Till then give him:
1. Steam inhalation to relieve from congestion and dryness.
2. Measure his temprature for fever. If present then, Antipyretic for fever - paracetamol( 15mg/kg of childs weight)( maximum 5-6 dose per day)
