HI...by what you quote as there is excessive cough I feel that your kid might be having a viral pharyngitis. As such this cough is a recovery sign. So do not worry.
I suggest you give your kid either Promethazine or Benadryl Cough Formula. Both these are prescription drugs and I suggest you consult your pediatrician for the prescription.
Another important thing is to do warm saline gargles which will help a lot.
