Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of recurring cold and cough which seems to be due to chronic upper respiratory tract infection due to poor or compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you start taking diet rich in vitamin C. Take multivitamins. You should take proper course of antibiotic Amoxicillin along with antiinflammatory medication Sinarest. Avoid intake of outside food and cold carbonated beverages. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis. Visit pediatricain once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination. You should go for X-ray chest and pulmonary function tests as well and start treatment accordingly. You should drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
