Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Since he is receiving Tamiflu for the influenza and having severe cough and unable to sleep you can give Montelukast syrup or inhaler so that it will reduce the intensity and frequency of his cough. If the cough does not subside or he develops fever kindly taken an opinion from the child specialist to rule out the possibility of chest infection.
Regards!
