Hi,
As he is having this problem since month requires some blood work to be done.
Go for complete blood checking like TC,DC, ESR, Eosinophil count.
Stool testing for ova and cyst.
Many a time due to eosinophilia gives this type of cough.
And at this age worm infestation is common, which gives Eosinophilia.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
Any cough syrup gives temporary relief from cough.
Ok and take care.
