Alternative Health Care Question

My son is 15 months old and has constant colds; he wheezes when he gets them.

Now his cough is getting worse, he's got snot in his nose and he's not eating or drinking as much (about 1 or 2 bottles a day, and maybe half or a full jar of baby food a day) which is very unusual for him. I'm worried that he's not getting what he needs or that...
