Keep him comfortable as you would for any illness. Concentrate on good fluid intake, good nutrition and rest. At his age it should self heal in a week or so. Isolate him from the vulnerable older population when possible. Contact his doc if needed.

The symptoms are normal but if your nephew has trouble breathing, pain or pressure in the chest, confusion, and inability to wake or stay awake and changes in skin tone, than see a doctor immediately Keep nephew away others, separate bedroom and bathroom if possible and wear a mask when around child.
