Allergies/dry throat: Do not understand the .He is fitting fit....But cough only in the morning and then fine all day could be related to a dry throat or allergies. Sometimes there are allergens in the child's room...Like stuffed animals in the bed, carpet, dust mites. Generally it is not a big issue unless it is interrupting sleep, affecting appetitie or going on for a while. Ask your pediatrician as well.

Congestion: Often children who are congested with mouth breath at night and wake up with dry throat causing cough. Does he sleep well through the night? Or is he a snorer. Best to discuss with your pediatrician whether his tonsils are enlarged and if his adenoids could also be enlarged. No treatment is necessary unless this is disrupting his life.
