My son had that. They decided mild asthma.  Hard for me to agree to that but I could only change his bedding in the middle of the night for so long before I gave in.  Once I allowed him to have the puffers he was okay.  Luckily he outgrew needing them by the time he was 7 yrs.  I charted pollen counts (along with his symptoms) for a few years to see if there was a pattern.  He was allergic to birch trees.  Definitely worse with his coughing around their pollen time.  The allergy disappeared at the same time as the asthma!!  Woo hoo, I hope the same for you.
