Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your son was given Tab Montek LC for the symptoms of cough and cold which has reduced the symptoms but the symptoms has come again. He should be evaluated for any allergic reactions. He may be having some allergic manifestations.

I would suggest your son to undergo lab investigations like absolute eosinophil count, chest X ray and routine blood examination.

For his symptoms I would suggest him to take
1.Tab Montek LC
2.Syp Bricarex, three times day.
3.Duolin nasal spray
4.Course of antibiotics like Syp Bactoclav.

If the symptoms are not coming down he requires skin prick test to find out the allergen causing these symptoms.
Thank you.
