3 year old cough only between 11pm and 2am

For almost 6 weeks now, my 3 year old son has had a cough only at night. It is a completely dry cough. He never has any symptoms durine the day except for the occasional sneeze or need to blow his nose. He always has dark circles under his eyes as if he's not rested. During the day he routinely tells me "I don't feel good"

Hi,

1) What does he do at night when he suffers from cough? Does he say anything or express anything about his problem?
2) What have you been doing to make him feel better at night?

3)Is there any specific reason for not feeling good during daytime? Explain more about 'I don't feel good' ..

4) List the name of medications he has taken till now for this problem.
Kindly answer these questions.

He is sleeping

Does he say anything or express anything about his problem?

He never mentions his cough

2) What have you been doing to make him feel better at night?

We run a cool mist humidifier and have been using Hyland nighttime children's cough medicine. This only works for an hour or two.

3)Is there any specific reason for not feeling good during daytime? Explain more about 'I don't feel good' ..

No specific reason that I can pinpoint. My only thought is maybe post nasal drip filling his stomach with mucus?

4) List the name of medications he has taken till now for this

Aconite,arsenicum, rhus tox, children's benadryl

ok..

I didn't get one of your point. You mentioned that he gets cough only between 11 pm to 2 am then how does he fall asleep during that time? Is he able to sleep even if he has cough?

What are other things that make his condition worse and better?

Kindly answer these questions

Thanks

Yes he is sleeping during this time. It doesn't completely wake him, just enough to be a nuisance.
Drinking water makes it better and dry air makes it worse

Give him spongia 30c single dose (3-4pills or 3drops in 10teaspoon of water) at night before going to bed. Give this dose for 3 days .
