yes, he sleeps in aircon room & on FM.

Hi, is he in an aircon place all the time? If so, you may consider using a humidifier in the room where he is or sleeps. A more "primitive" method is to put a basin of water in the room. Formula milk usually causes phelgmy kind of cough not dry cough, but it would also depends. Must trial and error to see.
