Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
He must be having a lot of secretions and at this age he cannot expectorate properly, he'll swallow them and pass them with the stools. The absence of fever is reassuring but he still needs to be seen and examined by a pediatrician. This is most likely a viral respiratory infection yet a physician's assessment is required to make sure there are no complications especially that it has lingered for 10 days. Meanwhile, nasal saline followed by bulb suction are necessary.
