Sarah,
Our little boy is 19 months and has had the same symptoms for the last year or so and then some.
We've no idea either - the MS tests have come back in the clear.
email me simon@reanimate.co.uk with your address and if we find anything I'll let you know (and vice-versa please!)
Thanks,
Simon.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
This could be due to respiratory infection. You should try letting him to steam inhalation and also take antitussives under medical supervision to relieve the thick mucus from blocking in the chest. This will do a great help for him. If his sputum is yellowish in colour he may need antibiotics to eradicate bacterial infection. Keep him well hydrated. Give diet rich in fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables and also high protein diet like cereals, pulses, eggs, chicken, lean meat.

Hello, welcome to Healthcaremagic. Your son could be having an allergic cough or any congenital disorder like cystic fibrosis. It is very difficult to comment further without proper examination and evaluation. You must take him to pediatrician for proper evaluation. Wish him good health.
