My 4 month old baby has had a nasty cough for a few weeks i've tried everything you could imagine that's right for him it's only in the middle of nigh?

See his doctor: A cough that occurs at night can be from many causes, so he should see his doctor to find out what the issue is. Otc cough/cold meds are not indicated in children under 4 years old. A cool mist humidifier can give some relief, as well as giving extra clear fluids to loosen the mucous. Use saline nose drops and a bulb syringe to remove mucous from his nose so he can breathe better.
