How long do coughs & colds last in a 3/4 month old

Baby has had a cough & cold for 3 weeks now. I thought it was going & now seems to be back so it could be 2 separate infections who knows. I've taken him to the doctors 3 times just to make sure it hasn't gone to his chest. No temperatures, just a really nasty cough probably caused by all the snot he can't shift. I can't help but think this is going on for a long time. Would I be right or is this normal? He's 15 weeks old.

Sooo cough & cold turned in to Bronchiolitis. Had to go to hospital to be assessed but didn't need treatment. That was 10 days ago.

Baby now has ANOTHER cold & the cough never left. His 4 YO sister also has a cold.

Is baby just going to be constantly ill until either the summer or until he's about 2?!

Any experience welcome 🙌
