Not normal: So sorry your sweet boy is I’ll. Three weeks of nighttime coughing is not normal. It is still possible this is in the realm of a resolving viral infection if his cough is improving day by day. If the night time cough is stable, he may have a sinus infection needing treatment. We may be able to help you with a prime visit! Otherwise get him to your local pediatrician. Best of luck!
