While it does not sound like classic CT it could be. My Georgie had CT but was never very symptomatic and when he was it was a dry cough and not the classic honking. I have found that the really severe cases are the ones where you really hear that honking sound (although I was told George's was severe so I don't know). What I find with CT is that the struggle is on inspiration .. they cannot get air in so they are coughing, if that makes sense. It is the way I try to explain the difference between that and reverse sneeze which involves inspiration and expiration.
CT is very much like asthma where air cannot get into the lungs.
Hope that helps.
