coughing so much I can't sleep?
For a week I have been coughing up a lung. I cannot stop coughing what so ever. I have the flu and coughing and throat irritation is the only symptom I can't be free of. Its like a tickle and it even chokes me. I've tried medicine. Throat drops. Honey. Every thing you can possibly try. I cannot sleep. Work. Talk. NOTHING. ITS GETTING SO IRRITATING. don't say go to the doctors. Already have at the beginning of my sickness and they said only come back if my fever and body pain continued. I've gotten better but cannot get rid of this last symptom and its effecting my life and sleep. Please help. Everything ive read doesn't help so please tell me something you KNOW will stop this. This is night 3 no sleep and day 4 coughing excessively at work. I'm so tired and just want one nice night of sleep

This happens to me as well. Try propping yourself up with pillows in bed and taking long hot showers to try and loosen up the gunk in your lungs before bedtime.

If it's all in your throat, have you tried taking something like mucinex to thin the crap out a little? I have chronic sinus issues and pretty much always have a lump of phlegm in my throat from drainage--that stuff really helps. Worth a shot, anyway (the generic works fine).
I don't suppose they gave you a good codeine cough syrup, did they? If they didn't, have you tried Delsym? That's gotta be the best OTC cough syrup on the market.

Taking multivitamins and vitamin c daily can reduce and fight sickness, also get the flu shot!!!!
