Hi,
It seems that he might be having allergic bronchiolitis giving this problem.
Exact reading of x-ray will be more helpful for any doubt about primary complex.
To rule out primary complex some other investigation might required like,
Complete blood checking like TC, DC, ESR etc.
Montoux test.
Weight loss.
After all reports we can have clue about his diagnosis.
Ok and take care.
