Hello,
I am sure your child is regularly immunised as per schedule.
This may be the starting of a viral infection or allergy to dust,etc.
If there is no fever just wait and watch.
There is no place for antibiotics (which you have mentioned in your mail )every time the child coughs.This has to be decided by the treating doctor.Take care
