With the symptoms you described and nocturnal persistent cough are indicatorr for early asthma in kids and albuterol nebulization with pumicort would indeed help a lot. You can also give nasal decongestants (otrivin [peds] nasal drops) in order to aid nasal breathing. Luke warm water with honey is soothing also to the throat as additive.
