Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having some atmospheric allergy causing this problem regularly.
If he is weak, anemic or having low immunity does contribute this problem.
He might require some blood work like TC, DC, ESR.
Go for Montoux test to rule out primary complex.
Consult pediatrician and discuss about this.
Ok and take care.
