Hi,
Welcome to HCM
Your having post viral bronchospam more so in night hence consult a Chest physician and if bronchospam is confirmed and there are signs of infection then a prescription based antibiotics,bronchodialtors in inhalation and if nned is there short course of oral corticosteroid will help him greatly.
After viral infection some times bronchospasm is there and it may not occur for very long time an din asthma reccurence is there with exposure to allergen and seasonal.
Take care
Good Luck
