No big deal....these often clear up without treatment.
However the treatment that has been started is reasonable, the antibiotics being prescribed for the chest infection I presume.
Not sure what the steroid inhaler would offer unless your son is an asthmatic.
All will settle by the beginning of next week.

PP.....yes that is(was) the teaching BUT recent studies are questioning this.
You can only kill the bugs and as you say, when they are dead, what more can be done and this usually happens to the more commoner bugs within 48hours, providing they are not antibiotic resistant.
So when you feel clinically well......why continue? It is that continuation with no more bugs to kill that may cause drug resistance.
