Hello
welcome to health care magic ,
Based on your child's history and treatment received most likely reason reason for his cough seems to be allergic (reactive airway disease) , chances of which are more if there is family history of allergic also . If your child responds immediately to nebulisation , chances of allergic cough are very much. Inhalation therapy are best recommended treatment for such type of cough, also you need to check your immunization , apart form routine vaccines he needs yearly flu vaccination. As these are prescriptional drugs you need to consult your pediatrician to take a course of these drugs as per the severity of illness.
Hope I answered your query
