Dry cough at sleep
Hi Doctor
My son is 4 years old and he is having dry cough mostly during sleep with some nose blockage and after waking up for an hour, he coughs occassionally
He is playful throughout the day and gets cough only when he is physically very active or talks too much
Im not giving him any medication as the cough isn't that much
Please advice what should I be doing to control his cough
