    Is she having seasonal allergies?  My son really suffers with nasal allergies in the spring and fall.  His nose runs all day, then he coughs a persistant, dry cough at night.

    If the cough is being caused by post-nasal drip (snot running back into the throat from the sinuses) having her blow her nose will help.  If my son is coughing in his sleep, I'll go in and have him wake up enough to blow his nose.  This usually stops the cough for a while!
