how do I stop my cough at night? It's keeping me and my husband up.?

I have been sick with a throat infection and cold for the past 4/5 days. The cough started a couple of days ago... I'm not cough as much during the day. It's at its worst at night when I'm laying down. How do I get rid of the cough? Its keeping us up at night.

    I have just had the exact same thing! Its been 10 days now and I am almost completely better but still coughing abit at night...my advice is try a VERY good cough mixture called Night Pac (not sure if you get it where you live but worth a try!) and I also HIGHLY recommend using a mixture of lemon juice (freshly squeezed) with honey added to taste and a bit of hot water (the whole mixture should only be about half a mug full) sip this slowly before you go to sleep. it works WONDERS for coughs!!!! get better soon!

    Probably you have drainage down your throat causing the cough. A decongestant might be helpful. Look at cough syrups with PE in them.

    I would take nightquil and/or spray that stuff in your mouth aiming at your throat whci should numb your throat and the feeling that you need to cough should go away.

    my wife uses a teaspoon of butter, sometimes two - goes right down, and always seems to work for her - "old farmgirl trick" she calls it

    try getting your husband to clean all fans, and change filters in a/c units

    Try to sleep on an incline with your head up, and I know its probably bad advice but nasal spray could help.

    cough drops..usually last for a few hours..or you can be nice and sleep on the couch..i doubt a few nights in separate beds will kill your marriage.
