Thank you for following up, it seems he has nasal drip and that's why he has gagging . The acute bronchitis signs and symptoms usually include:
-Cough.
-Production of mucus (sputum), which can be clear, white, yellowish-gray or green in color — rarely, it may be streaked with blood.
-Fatigue.
-Shortness of breath.
-Slight fever and chills.
-Chest discomfort.
I suggest
- Saline nasal drops;
- Lozenges: Strepsils, Sualin 1 tablet 4 times
- Gargling with salt water
- A soft bland diet , try to avoid sugar, replace with fruits
- Kuka syrup 5 ml 2 times
