Is it a dry or wet cough?

Personally I have hot lemon tea, you can get a pot of the lemon tea instant granules, and I put honey in it and it massively calms my chest down. My son loves it and always looks perky afterwards. He's 17 months old x

My son also had the barky cough. I think it's the change of weather. Do you have a humidifier that you can put on? Or run a bath or shower just to get some moisture in the air. And let baby be in the moisture so chest can clear up. Honey and cinnamon helped my son. But your baby looks small I'm not sure the age. I think under one honey isn't good.

My daughter ( 2yo) had a persistent cough from September. I was also told that moisture helps. You can also try eucaliptus oil in a humidifier. There this vapour thing I bought from the chemist that you plug in the socket and helps little one breathe during the night.
Hope your son gets better quickly xx
