If your child gets cough more during night and early morning hours, then it's mostly allergic. Cough due to infection will cause poor weight gain, recurrent hospitalizations. Get his hemoglobin levels checked as anaemia also predisposes to frequent infections

If cough is paroxysmal it could pertussis.
If it is nocturnal it could be allergic.
Very difficult to tell without checking, your doctor is the best judge
