If there is severe cough which does not subside with regular medicine, please do direct consultation, so that doctor can examine his throat and chest.
Aldo viral pharyngitis or throat infection can cause cough. Did he eat anything cold recently like ice-cream or cold drink?
Next Steps
Rainy season can increase allergic issues, so don't worry.
Health Tips
If possible do warm saline gargles frequently.
