Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Couh since 5 days is really a matter of concern.
your history suggests that he may be suffering from spasmodic Cough due to asthma or whooping cough.
Sabutamol through inhaler or nebulisation may be continued.
You may add steroids either orally or by inhalation .
An antibiotic like erythromycin may help in case of whooping cough.
Usually it takes a week to 10 days for relief.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
