Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pediatrician for your child and first rule out asthma and lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI-pneumonia). Recurrent cough, fever and cold are seen in asthma and LETI. So better to consult pediatrician and get done1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x-ray. Chest x-ray is needed to rule out pneumonia. Clinical examination is needed for asthma. He may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine Chat Doctor.  So better to first diagnose himself and then start appropriate treatment.
