Severe cough and breathing difficulty

Question

Asked for Female, 30 Years

My son had running nose and fever on Tuesday evening. Gave calpol p250 4 doses until yesterday night. Since yesterday he started mild cough and today it is more. He is coughing continuously and breathing with mouth. He has some wheezing like sound while breathing and his chest movements are deep and short intervals for every breath than normal day. For cough, we gave 3 doses of PCF syrup for kids as prescribed by a near by doc when we went last time around 1 month back for fever with cough. Shall we continue with pcf or need to visit hospital for further treatment? Kindly assist.
