Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Exposure to cold environment in children can cause bronchitis and pneumonia. And both of them cause persistent coughing despite of cough medicines.
So better to consult pediatrician and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray.
Chest x ray is needed for the diagnosis of lung infection.
He may need higher antibiotics, antihistamine and inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of above reports. Tell him tobacco drink plenty of fluids orally.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
