Night time cough is quite troublesome. In my opinion you should 1st go for pulmonary function test to rule out asthama. Other possibilities like cardiac cause and tracheobroncomalacia. In tracheobroncomalacia due to pathology in cartilage when ever patient is lying down the tracheal anterior and posterior wall tends to collapse and the lumen become slit like instead of round.
