allergies

my son coughs like crazy whenever he runs.. any other suggestions. He's using nasal spray, taking zrytec and delsym for the cough.

This sounds like an evaluation for asthma might be a good idea.  A lot of people experience what is called exercised induced asthma.  Many people do not realize that coughing is an asthma symptom.  If fact there is a sub category of asthma called cough variant asthma.  A patient with this asthma does not wheeze, but only cough, and cough and cough.  If it is determined that he has asthma, pre-treating with a rescue inhaler should crub his symptoms and allow him to exercise normally.

I hope that helps you.

Also make sure they check for chronic sinusitis. My son has a terrible cough all the time and they told me he has chronic sinusitis and inflamed adenoids (adenoids) and tonsils-reg. dr. missed it-you  may need a specialist.  good luck.
