Brief Answer:
How bad is the cough?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
He seems to be in the recovering stage. If you tell me how bad the cough is, I will be better able to help.
For mild dry cough and mild cold, an ayurvedic cough syrup like honitus etc would be enough. Sucking on cough lozenges like vicks will also help.
You may also add ginger, saunf, etc to his milk.
A viral usually clears up in 5 - 10 days.
