Hi
Welcome to the HCM

Night coughs with sputum can be a symptom of pulmonary or cardiac wheeze. I would recommend you to take following measures:
1. A good pulmonary and cardiac examination by a pediatrician will be helpful.
2. In case of pulmonary wheeze, you may start with Syp. Salbutamol or levolin.
3. Also use Syp Azithromycin which is an antibiotic. It's emperically for any atypical bacterial infections leading to the symptoms.
4. Check for any allergens in the surroundings which may be avoid to help him.

Hopefully this will help him. In case of any further questions, you may contact me.

Take care
