My son has been sick (two weeks ago) with a respitory infection but he is still not better. what should i do? he is also prone to febrile seizures. he seems to be breathing hard and i have been controlling his fever on and off.

Fever control: I would recommend seeing your physician, since one possible cause of his respiratory pattern is pneumonia. Your son may need a course of antibiotics and testing for influenza.
