My son has been having a cough for almost 2 weeks.I took him to the doctor and since his regular doctor wasn't there the doctor on call said it would go away by itself but this was last Tuesday and he still has the cough.is there anything I can give him to help him?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your son is having cough for last two months the cause for the cough should be found out and it is important to know whether it is associated with sputum or not.
As he is having cough for more than 2 week it is important to evaluate your son to find out the cause.
I would suggest to undergo
1. Sputum smear examinations
2. Routine blood investigation.
3. Chest X ray.
For the present symptoms I would suggest your son to take antibiotic like Bactoclav and antitussives like Syp Bricarex.
Thank you.
