4 years old - Night coughs

[cib77]

My DS is suffering from night coughs more often than not.
Generally his coughing is before he sleep and happens more so when he has had a very active day.
He also has woken up many a times with coughing spasms that can last from 5-10mins to an hour.

I have also noticed when he gets really tired, his eyes and eye kids get very pink/red and if doesn't have enough sleep, he has very puffy eyes, his nose runs and he is very irritable.

During the day he is generally fine and completely normal although a handful of times he has had coughing spasms after he has run around (only lasted 30seconds to a min max).

Any suggestions what could be the issue or any other children have somthing similar?

This sounds like how my DD2 was as a toddler. She was diagnosed with Asthma and once treatment was sorted the night coughs reduced greatly, unless she was unwell.

I would suggest a trip to the GP and get him checked out.

Could be asthma so definitely see your GP

In the meantime try a humidifier/vapouriser at night, one that puts moisture into the air. It will make a huge difference
