Dry cough ONLY at night

DD is 7 and has developed a dry cough that only happens at night. She is query asthma (exercise induced) but we are watching and waiting at the moment. Could this be a symptom of CV? I know nobody can diagnose over the internet but there are some very knowledgeable people about so thought I'd ask.

Just to reassure everyone, we are self isolating anyway as I am in the extremely vulnerable group.

I don’t know about whether this could be a Coronavirus symptom (sorry). But my asthmatic DS has a dry cough at night when his asthma isn’t well controlled.

This is the same with ds 5 actually. Query asthma too. Dd6 has had a cough for a couple of weeks but his just seems to be at night 🤷🏼‍♀️

Same with ds and his asthma.

I have cough variant asthma and it’s always worse at night.

Ok, so definitely sounding more asthma related. She has a blue inhaler, should I give her a puff or two before bed or would this be a bad idea?

I had a dry cough at night for a while and it turned out to be allergies. If it's only at night, and no other symptoms, I'd be surprised if it was coronavirus

I have this, it's asthma, also worse in warmer weather due to allergies

I'm coughing first thing in morning and late at night so it must be allergy related as nothing really during the day - unless I'm cutting the grass. I'm hoping antihistamines don't go the same way paracetamol have or my house will be very grumpy as the weather gets better

@SuperCraft I sometimes have a puff before bed if I’ve been coughing a lot. As long as you brush your teeth well etc it’s fine.
