He should be investigated

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, he is having continuous cough.It means Respiratory tract is involved.If sputum is coming,it suggests infection.Then, Antibiotic like Amoxycillin should be used.X Ray chest PA view will give an idea.
Regarding Abdominal pain, Ultrasound should be done.
Seriousness can be decided only after Doctor consultation and investigations.
Please consult your doctor and proceed further.
Nothing to worry.
