Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should work out for this. My advice is to consult a pediatrician. You go through chest X-ray posterior-anterior view. If it is normal then a CT chest and colonoscopy is helpful. Walking is the best exercise. Yoga and meditation will increase his lung strength.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
