In your case severe cough is mostly due to some sort of chest infection as already your husband is suffering from COPD and emphysema. For this you can give him some antibiotics like ampoxin or azithromycin after an expert opinion with levocetrizine or sneezy. For cough you can give him syrup ambrodil-s or syrup bro-zedex. Advice him to take steam inhalation also.
