HI,

Having cough during the night and not having other symptoms such as high temperature suggests a Gastro esophageal reflux or a sensitization (allergy) from house dust mites.

The allergy might start with upper respiratory ways symptoms such as runny or blocked nose and sneezing or with lower respiratory ways symptoms such as cough and difficulty on breathing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
