Can't sleep because of coughing?

A persistent cough that worsens at night can be due to bronchitis, post-nasal drip, or even reflux. I visited a specialist at Fortis Hospital when I had this, and they diagnosed the exact cause instead of letting me suffer. Please visit a proper doctor to get your chest examined clearly.

Actually yaar, lying flat on the bed makes the mucus pool in your throat and triggers the cough reflex. Try propping your head up with two pillows, it really helps to breathe easily. If it is getting too bad, just consult a doc rather than suffering all night.

My daughter had a similar cough that kept her awake all night last winter. I found that running a humidifier in the bedroom and giving her a spoonful of honey before bed helped soothe her throat. However, if there is any wheezing or high fever, please see a doctor immediately.

I am not an expert on respiratory issues, but I know how exhausting it is when lack of sleep affects your hormonal balance. Sleeping propped up and drinking warm water can offer some temporary relief. It is best to have a physician check your lungs to get the right treatment.
