Brief Answer:
Use saline drops and suction

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
The boy is so young and it is better to physically send him to doctor to listen to his lungs .
There is not much to do at this age for cough.
If he is having nasal secretions using saline drops and use suction to remove the secretions. Also use humidifier .

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
