If he has sudden onset of cough,ONLY at night,with NO coughing in the day time,it's most probably due to regurgitation.
Make sure dinner is at least 2 hours before bed time,don't give milk at bedtime,and keep him a bit propped up on pillows.
If not improving, needs meds,but only after thorough examination.
