Hello Witsend1 .

Any cough that is persistent needs to be checked out thoroughly. It could be one of many things and perhaps not even serious. But if he isn't feeling well in himself then he probably needs testing and the doctors will take it from there. What is being done to help his sleep issues? Sleep apnea is quite serious and would make him very drowsy during the day I imagine.

I am sure this all seems very daunting but once you see a doctor about his cough and they can run tests to find the cause, I am sure you will feel less stressed.

Please do let us know how things go.

Thinking of you both.
