Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of recurrent cough which seems to be due to sore throat, post nasal drip, sinusitis , granular pharyngitis and due to poor immunity of body. It could be due to infection of upper respiratory tract. Need not to worry about it. You should take chicken soup along with along with lemon tea. Take diet rich in vitamin C. Take combination of Sinarest along with Levocetirizine. You should go for steam inhalation on daily basis along with nasal vaporizers. You should put xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment as per diagnosis. Take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
