My boy coughs dry but only at night around 10pm and 3am but never for more than 10-20 sec about 2-3 times. Why is this?

Hello!

Does he have a fever?

If he only coughs a few times occasionally like this, it's not a concern, especially since he just had a cold, these are probably residual symptoms. Teething doesn't usually cause coughing.

You can keep doing the Sinus Rinse, it's the best thing to do right now! His cough should subside over the next few days. :)

Hopefully this information can help you!

Since it's not a chronic cough and he only coughs a few times during the night, I don't think it's anything to worry about. Besides, sporadic coughing (which happens for no reason, at a certain random time) is a completely normal phenomenon in both adults and children, and is sometimes just to clear secretions, dust, or particles to clear the airways. If the cough worsens, is constant all night or also appears during the day, there might be reason to consult, but for now, I reassure you that it is not abnormal at all.
