Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you can give rice banana. No harm in it. Your son is having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks).
And it is not improving with routine cough syrups.
So we should definitely rule out lung infection.
So consult pediatrician and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x ray.
He may need antibiotics along with other supportive drugs.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
