Hi,
Your child has a post viral cough.
This always takes time- the cough persists for 3-4 weeks after the initial attack.
If it is only in the night,no need for any medicine unless his sleep is getting disturbed! It will subside soon.you can justmake sure that he has no wheezing(the doctor will confirm).All the best
