This may be a case of viral infection with super added bacterial infection. Try antibiotics like ceftriaxone plus azithromycin. Continue the inhaler . Here aerocort will be better for you. Take plenty of fluid. One more thing. If you reside in swine flu prone area or if you had visit to places then it may be a swine flu category c suspect. Immediately get examined to the nearest centre. Best wishes

Is he asthmatic.If no,then ashalin inhalation not required.As fever is of 11 days duration and upto 102f,he should be evaluated for fever and a xray chest should also be done.Consult a respiratory physician.
