Sorry this wasn't answered earlier for you.
Xopenex is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing. Constricted airways are often the cause of coughing and may help with your sons symptoms.
If the Xopenex does not help, and the coughing is upsetting him, you should take him back to the doctor.
All the best.
