Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion your son is having allergic bronchitis.
Treatment is as follows.
Try to identify the allergen and better avoid it. Allergen can be anything like dust, fumes,pollens etc.
Start inhaled bronchodilators.
Take antihistamines and anti inflammatory drug.
Take anti allergic (leukotriene receptor blocker) in night.
Drink plenty of fluids and keep himself hydrated.
