Many but: my bet is that he is having a viral infection. However if the cough keeps him up at night or the symptoms get worse by the day, you need to get him to a doctor. In the meanwhile, make sure that he does not get dehydrated. (If he has not had flu shot this year, he may well have the flu and an antiviral drug given within the 1st 48 hrs of onset may shorten the duration of his illness).
