Hello,
You can give Benzonatate, if your son has a cough.
Benzonatate is used to relieve coughing.
I also suggest you to give anti-inflammatory medication such as I Ibuprofen three times a day.
If the symptoms continue antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
