Would not delay...: ...in getting him examined and tested so appropriate treatment can begin, and exposure risks within the family can be minimized.

Get him seen ASAP:: If your doctor makes house calls, that would be ideal. If not, remember that taking him out while he is sick exposes others who may be vulnerable, so if there are masks available to cover coughs, please use them. The best thing for your son is to have him checked right away. Limit visitors until he is better. Watch for other family members who may become sick, and get vaccinations if possible.
