Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

He may be suffering from acute bronchitis, pneumonitis or sinusitis with post nasal discharge. Avoid cool drinks, freeze water, smoking, and caffeine drinks.

Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. He may need further examination to rule out the cause. Please consult your physician so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
