Continuous cough since more than 2 weeks

Hi Doctor, My father in law is a COPD patient. His lungs are very weak. Since more than 2 weeks, he had a cold attack but the cough is not subsiding. He gets continuous bouts of cough and though the medication is given, there is no visible relief. Kindly suggest.
