Likely unrelated: This sequence suggests unrelated issues but the management/treatment is odd by USA standards. Unless the doc confirmed a strep infection antibiotics are not needed for tonsillitis & we rarely give steroids to infants. They can suppress the immune system. The cough may or may not be part of the initial infection. Night coughing suggests post-nasal drainage or bedroom airborne irritants.
