hi jennifer,
triamnic is good enough but please give it at night also. it sounds like more of allergic cough only. let him take steam inhalation for atleast 2 or 3 times a day. try to prevent exposure to any allergens like smoke, dust or cold foods. it might take a while for it to clear probably a week or so.
