Bilby was right to suggest to get him checked for Asthma. My son had the same problem. I took him to an Allergy Specialist who tested him & diagnosed him not only with Asthma but he is also allergic to mold & orris root ( found in perfumes,cleaning supplies,air freshner sprays,etc. ) Taking him to that doctor was the best thing I ever did for him!!! He had to go for allergy shots every week eventually down to once a month for about 3yrs. The Great news is he now no longer has to use an inhaler,nebulizer or get shots any more!!! The shots built his immunity up & it got his asthma under control! His asthma was allergy related. We still have the nebulizer & carry an inhaler in case of an emergency. We've been very fortunate that his Asthma has only acted up a few times when he was sick.

Also, Yes you need to keep the air in the bedroom moist!!! If it's dry it will irritate the throat!

Another thing could be whooping cough? My other son had it a couple years ago. It was a dry cough that didn't go away. You will know if that's it as it will get so loud & hoarse.

Good Luck & I hope the little guy feels better!
