You may try honey and lemon juice. What I do when I get a tickly cough at night..I rub some Vick on my chest, cover up loosley and let the vapors settle my cough. I dont like to take cough syrups before bed because sometimes they make me feel like I've tied one on the next morning..lol

Go to your doctor or a pharmacist for advice

Prescription pain pills should do it. But before you develop that type of dependancy, yeahhh you should just go see a doctor about the problem at hand (coughing).

I put it to you that you have been smoking.

It could be an allergy you should speak to your doctor. try taking a cough mixture before you go to bed.

cough suppressant cough medicine,before bed.

I had the same problem a few years ago due to a bronchial infection. Try a bottle of brondecon from the chemist. It worked for me when I was waking up coughing. And see a doctor. Good luck.

try to rest in an upright position - but you really do need to seek medical advice as you may have an infection

Try Vick antiseptic throat spray, it works for me. Keep a drink by the bed and some tunes to suck.

Could be GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) this produces acid reflux from the stomach to your throat, which in turn produces soreness, throat compression, mucus secretion, hoarseness and cough.
It is usually treated with antacids such as Nexium, Maalox, prokinetic drugs such as Prepulsid (not sure if available in the US) and Loratadine.
As general measures you should avoid spicy foods, loose some weight, wlak a little after eating just to favor your digestion, and you should go to bed2 hours after your last meal.
Avoidance of Tabacco and Alcohol would be of great benefit.

You should get in touch with your ENT Doctor for a more detailed checkup.
