thank you for using healthcare magic.
Your son may have asthma/recurrent bronchitis which may be triggered by a viral insult (common with your sons age group). Your current medication are accepted as treatment for asthma/bronchitis but there are newer medications which you can use like procaterol/salbutamol. But you have to consult a doctor first in order to rule out other illness which causes the recurrent cough.
