Coughing only during nights

2018-02-04 06:36:27
I have been witnessing something new over the last few days with my son. He doesn't have cold or cough during the day, but during the nights he has incessant coughing going on for possibly an hour in his sleep. What should I do and why does this happen?

He may be suffering from allergic airway disorder which may require treatment with anti Histamine medicines for few weeks. Usually this condition fluctuates seasonally and treatment during particular season may be required
