In the case of a persistent cough in a small child, it is always appropriate to contact a doctor to look for the cause. I would suggest first with a pediatrician in my GP clinic. He may, after examining the child, give an opinion on whether something in the interview and results suggests the need to contact an allergist. Dry cough at night in a child can be caused by dry air (it is worth taking care of the appropriate microclimate in the bedroom and properly hydrating the child) or a previous illness, but it can also signal a fresh viral infection, asthma, allergy, parasitic disease, problems with the regression of food content or circulatory problems. To help your child sleep soundly at night until they see a doctor, you can give age-appropriate airway coating syrup, for example: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/60853/petit-drill-syrop/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/104377/bobolen-syrop-na-suchy-kaszel-syrop/apteki
