Coughing intermittently
My 2 years 4 months son is coughing since last 3 days. It is not always rather intermittent. As if something is stuck in his throat and he is trying to get it out. The cough is neither dry nor wet. He is coughing mainly while sleeping. Also no mucus in stool. And no fever. Otherwise he is chirpy as always. We are giving him honey, half tea-spoon thrice daily; started today. Please suggest if anything else is needed.
