Brief Answer:
He is recovering

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

In my opinion he is recovering as seems to have post viral reactive cough. We can withdraw Chericof syrup as he doesnt have runny nose now. Does he have difficulty breathing? How bad is his cough?

For mild cough he can be given cough lozenges like strepsil or Dabur cough syrup once in a while.

I think he will recover soon

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

He will recover soon. We can help him breathe through night by giving 1 tsp of Syrup Asthalin before sleeping for 2-3 days.

Otherwise no need to worry.
