A cough that occurs mainly at bedtime, during sleep, and early in the morning while your child is otherwise active and well during the day is often due to post-nasal drip from allergic rhinitis, enlarged adenoids, or airway hyperreactivity/asthma rather than a simple seasonal cough. While occasional coughs can occur with weather changes, persistent night-time cough for more than a few weeks should be evaluated by a pediatrician. Watch for associated symptoms such as snoring, mouth breathing, recurrent colds, wheezing, or exercise-induced cough, as these can provide important clues to the underlying cause.
