Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of recurring bronchitis and severe cough which is due to upper respiratory tract infection leading to bronchitis/ granular pharyngitis. It is due to increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles and take steam twice a day. Avoid use of sharp and spicy food substances. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Your symptoms will resolve in 1 week. if symptoms keep son persisting you should consult ENT specialist and take proper treatment. You should get X-ray chest done along with pulmonary function tests. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin or penicillin at least for 5 days along with decongestant.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
