    He could possibly have cough variant asthma. I sometimes have problems with it. I'll cough non stop, its a dry unproductive cough, nothing comes up and it doesnt always include wheezing. Its really irritating. Twice its been bad to where i'm coughing non stop to the point I start gagging.

    Inhaling steam might help him. Have him put his head right over some hot steaming water and cover his head and the bowl, or whatever you use, with a big towel and inhale the steam. Hopefully this will help until he can see a doctor
