do you have any menthol crystals? I know they are more for colds but might help. Tomorrow, shut the bathroom door and the window, turn all the hots taps on full blast and play with him in the bathroom for as long as possible. Or do this in the shower cubicle if you have one, a smaller area is even better. Do this a couple of times a day if you can. Steam is the very best thing for a cough.
