Probably a virus: This is likely a viral upper respiratory infection.Night will be worse because of the mucous dripping while laying down.We don’t give medication to children this age for coughs and colds.You can use saline drops in her nose,a humidifier at night,and elevate her head if she stays in 1 position.Please see her doctor if there is fever or difficulty breathing or if she is not drinking fluids.
