Hello,
It seems to be a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Symptomatic management is done for that. Decongestant like levocetrizine for five days can be prescribed for that. If no improvement, then investigation with CBC needed. Consult a pediatrician for examination and discuss your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
