Persistant cough, I can't sleep?

I'd recommend lots of water and inhaling steam from either the shower or a humidifier, but since you want to rest right away and not do that... there are two options that I know of:

Vapor rub, if you have any, to rub on your chest (lung area) and then cover it up as you sleep.

And finally, which you should do anyway, is raise your head a little and keep it propped up while you sleep (do this by putting two pillows atop each other like a stack and keep your head elevated in place while you sleep. Classic healing style I did which helped me somewhat in getting some better sleep.)

Hope you heal well soon.

You need a cough suppressant and an expectorant.

The suppressant will relieve that nagging itch or cough reflex that is keeping you awake.

The expectorant will loosen the mucus making it easier to get rid of when you cough.

Guaifenesin is the most commonly used expectorant. IF you take too much of that than recommended it can cause nausea. So be careful when it comes to that. Stick with the dosage listed on the package,nothing more. Eating something just prior to taking it may help with the queasy feeling. Just don't have anything too heavy. Perhaps a bowl of chicken soup.

*What color is your mucus? If it's either green or yellow,you have an infection. Likely will need to be treated with antibiotics to clear it up quicker. Otherwise you may be sick for a month if not longer.*

Do you have a vapourizer and some Vick's? That would give you some relief. You should ask a pharmacist for some advise. You certainly need something for the fever. If the pharmacist suggest a syrup or caplets, there might be acetaminophen in it already. Make sure not to take more if it's already in the medication you will take. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage in overdose.

You must consult a physician...who will check you thoroughly..and will prescribe medicin accordingly...such severe cough is harmful...

In the meantime,take a little bit of turmeric powder in lukewarm water..half cup...just sip you will get some relief..and always drink lukewarm water..

But for God's sake...must visit' a physician...

Traraflu sort of a tea pa kit. That is mix with water.bad taste but works like a miracle . 30 min and you will feel good.
