Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chronic cough which is due to upper respiratory tract infection and poor immunity of kid. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles and take steam twice a day. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Avoid use of sharp and spicy food substances. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Your symptoms will resolve in 1 week. if symptoms keep son persisting you should consult pediatrician once and take proper treatment. You should get X-ray chest done along with pulmonary function tests. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) at least for 5 days along with decongestant.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
