Get him checked for asthma especially if the season is changing.
We went on holidays (he was 2.5yr) down south in the winter (colder states here) and ds2 did this constantly for the 2 weeks we were away, when we got home it petered out, we did the cough syrup that only worked for a small time each night. The next winter year it came back but not nearly so bad, when I mentioned this to the Doc he said seasonal asthma, put him on ventolin and all is well.
Now ds2 takes his ventiolin mostly first thing in the morning and last thing at night when it's the coolest and that seems enough for him, just going in to and out of the colder air and temps. He does get hayfever but an anti histamine helps that.
Asthma is not only sport related and triggered by exercise, he just sat there, with a cough that had no mucus.
Another alternative is to put moisture in the air, as the room may be to dry?

Worth a try and a question.
