Suggest Treatment For Cough & Pain In Right Arm

My 13-year old son has had a hacky non productive cough for two weeks. He started complaining of right arm pain yesterday between his elbow and shoulder. He is having a lot of trouble writing and it even hurt him to hold the hair dryer this morning. The cough is still present as well.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
There is a general rule that one should try and unify a single diagnosis from apparently unrelated symptoms. I tried, but I could not find a single reason for both, his cough and his arms. I guess he might have slept over his arm at night, since only one arm is hurting. For the dry cough, you can try any DRY-cough syrup like Actifed DM or Dilo DX.
