Common Causes Return to top

Besides recent upper airway infections such as the common cold and flu, other common causes of coughs include:

Allergies and asthma
Lung infections such as pneumonia or acute bronchitis
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (emphysema or chronic bronchitis)
Sinusitis leading to postnasal drip
Lung disease such as bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, or tumors
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Cigarette smoking
Exposure to secondhand smoke
Exposure to air pollutants
ACE inhibitors (medications used to control blood pressure)


If your friend is only coughing at night though, I would say that there is a good chance that he might have GERD. Or maybe even nocturnal asthma, this is asthma that onlly acts up during night when trying to sleep.

Best of Luck to you and your friend,

Answer 4

He could have a sinus infection. When he lays down his sinuses could be draining into the back of his throat causing him to cough. He should probably see a doctor.
