@K Lynne T:
You husband probably needs a Cough Assist machine to relieve these episodes of he passing out when he tries to cough hard as his breathing muscles are not as strong as they were before the disease onset.
The Cough Assist machine would help him get rid of the phlegm that builds up in his chest caused by colds.
You could loan one of these Cough Assist machines from your local Chapter of the ALS Association "Loaner Closet". You may need to contact them to get it.
Hope this helps.
