Try propping up in bed instead of laying flat and a spoon full of honey always helps me.


You may have GERD that can also cause a cough when you lay down

Nyquil, calms your throat and puts you right to sleep.

Here's a home remedy.....put Vick's Vapor Rub on your feet and then put on a pair of socks and go to bed.

take some nyquil and drink plenty of water

Get out of bed.

Consistant coughing is a sickness and you should see a doctor.

sit up and drink a glass of water allways works 4 me

water or nyquil

Coat the bottoms of your feet with Vick's VapoRub (no joke!) and put on socks and you'll sleep like a baby. True!

You need a good humidifier. It doesnt work instantly but after you sleep for a night with it on you will see a difference, big time.

cut a lemon in half.... and juice both halves
put ice and water in a glass
add honey!!!
... tasty as and it helps me

If you're not sick, but have a cough, you might consider a visit to the doctor anyway. I have a nagging cough myself - and I do not smoke. I use a humidifier in my bedroom at night and that helps most of the time.

Wash and change your bedding regularly. If you have pets or dust, and your bedding collects either of them, that might trip up any allergies you might have - even if you don't "usually" have allergies.

Start using saline spray before bed. I think you have post-nasal drip and it tickles your throat when you lie down. I agree with the other poster, take a little honey. You can add it to a cup in a little hot water. I also like the vapo/vapor plugs. You buy a plug in thing that looks like a night light and put little strip in it that emit a vapor smell.

Here are a few simple home remedies that will help to overcome cough. Have honey in a hot drink before bed time.Check out http://useinfo6.blogspot.com/ for more remedies and information.
