Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Your child seems to be suffering from the allergic tendency leading to recurrent cough and chest congestion. If not timely managed, such cases may progress to childhood asthma.
Inducing vomiting with lemon and honey is not a solution at all. I would recommend you to take him to a pediatrician for proper clinical examination especially of chest to rule out pulmonary wheeze or any congenital heart disease leading to recurrent cough.
They may advice you for chest X Ray. In case of pulmonary wheeze, treatment with inhaled steroids and Beta2 agonist drugs will be helpful.

Hopefully this will help you. I would be glad to help you in any further questions.
Take care
