Hello,
If your boy gets cold 3-4 times a year then it is normal. You have written severe cold from more than 9 months is matter of advance investigations to rule out the exact cause of it.
Therefore, I would not suggest any medications without doing these investigations, such as CXR (AP, L), RBT, CRP, ESR, LFTs, KFTs as an initial test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
