Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query, reviewed your medications and understand your concern.

As per your clinical history, it appears that your son might be having chronic adenoiditis which common in this age group. Chronic adenoiditis can cause recurrent cough & cold.

If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you
Steam Inhalation twice daily &
Saline nasal spray .

I would also like to do Investigation like X Ray Nasopharynx- lateral view to confirm adenoiditis.

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
