is their any family history of allergies in the family ?
Has your son ever shown symptoms of allergic cough in the past?
Since he is now in a play group and in contact with other children of the same age group, we will have to rule out recurrent upper respiratory infections.
A blood work up with an X-ray chest will be helpful to rule out bacterial infections.
If their is no evidence of an infective pathology , an anti allergic orally with nasal cortisone spray at bed time should relieve the symptoms.
