For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Hi Im a nurse, and what you describe sounds like a classic case of Asthma.My son was exactly the same. Does he have a cuddly toy he sleeps with?. If he does you can try putting it in the freezer in a poly bag every day . that will kill off the dust mites that cause the cough.Also have a word with your doctor. he may need an inhaler for a year or so.
definately prop him up in his bed, it helps the chest drain naturally. Get him checked by the doctor if its been going on for a while, but be aware a lot of other conditions can be blamed on astma(not necersarily life threatening so please dont panic!). If his cough persists with an inhaler take him back to your Doc
