Hello,
It could be pertussis infection. I recommend performing blood lab tests for infection (complete blood count, PCR, ESR) and antibody for pertussis. An antihistamine syrup may be needed, coupled with an antibiotic. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
