Can be if they have slight slight congestion..when they lie down the goop runs down the back of their throat easy so makes a cough.

Paiges was asthma..cold air..now she gets rhinitis and sneezes 20 odd times from about 4am...]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 10:01:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=391929&title=night-time-coughing#391929 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=389350&title=night-time-coughing#389350 Author: Mumandloveit

Asthma for us as well but Bianca coughed for about 4 or 5 months at night before she was diagnosed. Asthma in under 3s is apparently hard to diagnose. She too had no other day symptoms and never really any chest infections prior to this either, but the inhaler has helped now along with leaving a heater on at night outside her room to keep the air warm. Hope this is not the case for you though although trying the heater to warm the air may help alleviate the cough.

Natasha coughs at night because she has asthma. It's always worse lying down and at night once the chill sets into the air.
Hopefully it's not that but it is worth being aware of it as a possibility.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 19:38:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=388193&title=night-time-coughing#388193 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=388163&title=night-time-coughing#388163 Author: Maya

I took Maya to the doc at one stage, but you're right, it wa just something we had to let run it's course. She's had it a few times now, the worst part was that she'd spew all thru her bed and I'd have to get up and change it, and that her sleep was interrupted so she was grouchy during the day.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 18:59:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=388163&title=night-time-coughing#388163 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=387949&title=night-time-coughing#387949 Author: caraMel

Hmmm. I think you're right Emma and Eva, it is to do with the lying down, cos he's not coughing at all when he's up. He's not even slightly snotty! It does wake him up though, and us! I guess we'll go see the docs if it carries on. Not sure how much help they can be though, since he appears completely well when he's awake!

Yeah Kahtrell sometimes has a cough every now and then during the night. He's not distressed and isn't sick, so I think it would probably have to do with the cooler air and lying down. Otherwise he's fine during the day.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 14:52:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=387918&title=night-time-coughing#387918 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=387830&title=night-time-coughing#387830 Author: Maya

Maya goes thru stages of night coughing, sometimes so fierce she vomits from the force of the coughing. It's usually when she's got a bit of a cold, and I think the cool, damp night air combined with lying down (which let the gunk build up in her chest) is what causes it coz during the day she seems fine.
Poor wee Benjy, hope he is over it soon!]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 13:02:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=387830&title=night-time-coughing#387830 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=387822&title=night-time-coughing#387822 Author: Bayley

Ok this isn't toddler related but my stepson (then aged 10) was doing this every night he was with us and it was driving me insane. Cough medicines helped a bit, but if we didn't give medicine to him then it would go on for hours, and he seemed to still be asleep. It turned out it was his asthma, once he had a puff of his inhaler before he went to bed, it solved the problem.

Hopefully that isn't Benjy's problem though!]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 12:55:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=387822&title=night-time-coughing#387822 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=387812&title=night-time-coughing#387812 Author: Bombshell

For the last couple of nights Benjy has been waking up coughing. He isn't sick and it doesn't happen during the day at all.
He is nice and warm and goes off to sleep fine. It seems to start after a few hours of sleep.
I go in and give him a drink and settle him down again but 10 minutes later it starts again and goes on and on and on until I give him some Dimetapp to ease it.
Does anyone have any idea what causes a night time cough? ]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 10:58:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17366&PID=387690&title=night-time-coughing#387690
