Severe coughing 4year old

Question

Asked for Male, 4 Years

My son cough's a lot. Wet kinds. But he doesn't spit.. he says won't dirty places. I suspect he is gulping it. My parents don't have asthma. My wife's mother has asthma but not her dad. When I turn on the air conditioning the cough stops. When I steam the room, the cough starts and blocking of the nose begins. But it looks like it nasal water dripping. And he is holding it back by inhaling it. The boy has been talking a concoction of amla giloy and aloe vera juice. He also has montair syrup but this doesn't work. He went through the comprehensive food allergy test at anandlabs but it turned negative. I am really confused about what my next step should be. Anything to get this cough gone
