I would recommend to get chest ct scan along with bronchoscopy to see if there's any fistula as drinking water aggravates the cough. He should also undergo bronchoscopy after the ct report. Rest for controlling cough you can use a cough suppresant for while. But remember its not the permanent solution. Thanks.
