it could be allergies or it could be no moisture in the house u might want to consider to get a cool mist it puts moisture in the house if the house is dry?

at night the baby is mostly in the lying down flat position, and nasal and sinus fluids drain down the throat causing baby to cough. In the day baby is upright more and can handle swallowing the fluids better. Did the Dr prescribe anything? Does he allow benadryl in a baby dose?

I'd believe that. I have spring allergies that don't bother me with coughing until I go to bed at night.
Part of that problem I think is because I'm lying down so a baby could have same trouble. Could she/he be allergic to something in his/her room?

A common reason for baby coughing is acid reflux. Try angling the baby's torso at a ca. 30° incline at night and see if it gets better.

Babies can't drain their fluids as well at night because they are lying down. Try elevating your childs bed a little bit at the head..it makes a world of difference! Good luck
