And another comment:
"added an over-the-counter Dextromethorphan with guifenesin which did ease the coughing but left him with what he described as the bad side of being drugged but none of the pleasant side effects. He's pretty agitated and hyper."
DXM is certainly not a euphoric drug (and there's no universal feeling of "being drugged"). If anything, it's dysphoric. It can be scary and... dark, in my experience. Any pleasure gained from taking DXM is a secondary effect resulting from finding the primary effects fun, interesting and/or enlightening.
If his coughing is (well, "was" by now) so sever that he needs to take amounts of DXM that are psychoactive, he should seek a prescription for some codeine, IMO. Hopefully you can ("could have") somehow make your doctors more sympathetic than you imply they have been.
