Brief Answer:
Consult pulmonologist.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your son's situation and problem.
He is having cough syncope.
It is due to vagus nerve stimulation due to strong cough.
It is rare thing but can be seen in hypersensitive individuals.
It is known as cough syncope.
It is not actually disease. It is type of reflex.
So he needs centrally acting cough suppressant and treatment of pneumonia.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
