Dear Lybrateuser, cough is usually a sign of blockage / irritation of Wind Pipe / Respiratory Tubes (Bronchioles). Please consult a Pulmonologist to diagnose the cause of chronic cough. Prevention of Chest congestion by avoiding Dust, Molds, Smoke and extreme cold can help. Wishing your son a speedy recovery.
