hi
most of the infective respiratory tract infection subside by a duration of 1 week or 10 days.
if he has been diagnosed as allergic cough to dust exposure, it is better to avoid the allergen as much as possible.
if the cough is persistent please go for a chest x-ray to find out for the infection.
allergic coughs can be avoided by anti-allergic drugs like monteleukast or same group drugs, on advice of the paediatrician, as a course .
all the best
take care
