Aspirating

[nooby]

My little chick is having a hard time swallowing water , and is not breathing very well. I hope it is not aspiration. He was sick for a while and i had to use a dropper twice to get him to drink, now he has recovered, but im afraid he started aspiration. I am new to byc and i am unexperienced with chickens, and unfortunately, no avian vets are available in this region and i can only find pet stores who sell birds and im not sure if they can somehow help me. The chick is about 3-4 weeks old.

i feed it some crushed corn which the man who selled him to me gave me, he is occasionaly pooping since he isnt eating very well, and the poop is normal and dry with a greenish color. He also eats bugs from time to time and i feed him a little bit of rice and some oats.he is very active but does not eat or drink well. He is opening his mouth and shaking his head a bit every minute and has a lot of saliva inside his beak
