Irritating cough in 7 year old DS

Hi there, two weeks ago my DS started to have a low key cough, which only seemed to affect him during the early part of the night. Over the last couple of days, its pretty much turned into a constant cough throughout the day as well. Its not a particularly hacking cough, more an irritating tickly one, with no other symptoms at all. We've tried cough medicine, but it doesn't seem to help at all. Thinking of taking him to the doctor's tomorrow, but with so many bugs going around wondering if a) he has just picked up a bit of a bug b) don't want him picking up something worse when sitting in the doc's reception. Anyone else experienced this, and any ideas on what might help him ? Thanks x

Could it be asthma? Some children benefit from using an inhaler during the winter months even if they have no other symptoms. I think it's definitely worth seeing a Dr.
