Thanks for your question on HCM. Since your son is on antibiotics and not improvingplus cougthere, I suggest you to go for chest x ray. We have to rule out lung infection first. If chest x ray is clear than I think you should consult ENT surgeon for any upper respiratory tract pathology. Meanwhile you can start cough supressant like anti histamine. Also give him anti inflaminflammatory drugs to relieve edema.
