hi
thanks for using hcm
this looks like he is suffering from viral infection
anyways antibiotic one course can help to reduce the secondary infection
viral infections can cause lot of immunosuppression,during their course, but most of them are self limiting from duration of 2 to 3 weeks
maintain good hydration status
please give good nutritious diet,to prevent the weakness.
take care
