HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Unfortunately there is no permanent cure for the cough and cold. Young children are prone to these infections because their immune system is still developing.
As they get older, they would get less and less infection.
Using a lot of fruits with vitamin c , supplements and probiotics may help to boost the immune system and reduce the frequency of attacks.
In terms of the medication, if he has allergies and you can reduce his exposure then he may not have any of the allergy symptoms so may not need as much medication.
I hope this helps
