Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Respiratory infections are mostly viral in nature and settles in few days
Physical examination of cheat is needed to see type of cough
If such patient will come to my clinic I suggest combination of dextomethorphen with chlorpjeneramine (tusq dx)for dry cough and ambroxil for wet cough 2.5 ml 3 yes a day.
Also give steam inhalation .
Give mixture of XXXXXXX leaves with few drops of lemon,ginger and honey in warm water.
In case symptoms persist get him evaluated by pediatrician.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if I can assist further.
Wishing your baby good health.
God bless..
