my aunt told me this and now my whole family does this trick. before you go to sleep, instead of putting vicks vapor rub on your chest , put it on your feet and then put socks on over it. it helps you sleep threw the night without any coughingHealth Question & Answer

First off: A Cough is a way that the body protects itself from these allergens. Coughing does not always mean there is a problem, however coughing at night after going to sleep is almost always abnormal and needs medical attention.

But to help you I like using lemon and honey. I also like a hot cup of tea with lemon and honey. And try a nice hot shower and using a hot wash cloth in the shower putting it over your nose and inhale. Sometimes in the fall the fall allergies can make us cough and we just need some extra moisture like that hot shower. I like doing these first before getting other things.

also a good cough drop helps too.

Cough suppressing medications such as over-the-counter medications that contain dextromethorphan are also of limited value, but can be tried.

Stronger cough suppressing agents such as codeine-containing medications are more effective, but have more side effects and should only be used for short periods of time. If it persist longer then it may be a good idea to see a doctor. Health Question & Answer

Go to the doctor, explain you have a "nagging cough" that hurts and won't go away, and he or she will likely give you a great prescription for a codeine cough syrup, hopefully with one refill. Take a couple of shots of it, or if you really want to feel better, mix a shot or two with some alcohol, and you won't cough or care if you do. Enjoy your one refill, and then wait until the next time you get sick so that you don't get addicted.Health Question & Answer

Take extra vitamin C, gargle with a glass of warm water that has 1/2 tsp salt in it- don't swallow it. Drink some tea, flavor of your choice, with some honey in it. Sleep with an air humidifier at night. Make sure to drink enough water. If I think of any thing else... Good Luck! :)Health Question & Answer
