Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Your son may be having upper respiratory tract infection or allergy to detergents he using.
As he was tested for allergy and positive to some of the allergen, he needs to avoid that, but your is not complete.
If he is having sore throat, mucus, fever and cough it will be in favor of upper respiratory tract infection.
He requires thorough medical examination in some investigations to rule out the causes of choking he is having.
Thank You.
