Hello
I appreciate your concern
I would advise such a case to take steam inhalation and deep breathing exercises
warm saline gargles also helps
give him some food supplement like multivitamins and vitamin C to boost his immunity
humidified air on the surface of water helps in improving cough.
Hope I have answered your question
good luck
take care
