If you have allergies, sometimes they work together and team up against you, but check out www.webmd.com |

Well if you did'nt go to the doctor yet thats the best idea. But you have to elevate yourself when you are sleeping. I as well have a cold that seems like the flu right now and it's going to be gone tomorrow. The point is that if you cant sleep and you are not planning to go anywhere the next day stay up a little later to feel better. i'm sure you will feel better! |

Not sure, but look up Vicks vapor rub and feet. For some reason many people swear that if you rub it on your feet at night and put socks on, it will quiet your cough. Might be worth a try. I have used it on both of my kids and it does seem to help a lot. |

I used to have that problem. Prop yourself up while you sleep. I think its because of the way you breathe when you lay down. I used a triangular pillow propped up. Nice and comfy. |

it is probably because you re laying down. try propping your head up with two pillows! or Nyquil if all else fails! |

you now have a chest cold, my suggestion is to buy some cough syrup prop yourself up in a recline position and during the day put a hot towel over your face so you can breath in some moisture. |

your sinuses drain at night and cause you to cough, usually. Sometimes, I won't cough all day, then wake up in the night with a coughing fit!
Try a sinus pill before going to bed.. |

you might have a sinus infection and post nasal drip which will cause you to cough more at night becuase you are lying down. During the day you are mostly upright. If the stuffy nose persists try a humidifier and go back to your doctor to see if you have a sinus infection. |

First of all that is totally normal, a cough is often the last "step" of a cold.
As for sleeping better at night, have you tried taking cough medicine like Robitussin? It's so gross but it works (believe me). Also, sitting up a little more, like adding a few more pillows to where your head is helps a little bit. |

Those core throats are killers, ouch. Just kidding that happens to me and I'm not sure exactly why it happens at night. I am interested in knowing as well. |
|
OOO! I know! I know!
|
An over the counter nighttime cold and cough med helped me. |

You tend to cough more at night and other flu symptoms become more pronounced due to a number of factors.
1) As simple as it sounds, your body is more tired at the end of the day.
2) You are less active at night and your body 'cools' down, and this increases the effect of the flu symptoms. (eg sit down and relax even duing the middle of the day in a cool airconditioned room and after a while the coughing and blocked nose will startup.)
3) It's generally cooler at night, the air is thinner and drier. Similar to the airconditioning example above. The cooler air causes breathing airways to constrict a little, and irritations in the airways increase. You cough and cough like there's something there to be removed but after all the coughing it still remains.
4) This is all further exacerbated when you are lying horizontal on your bed. Flu symptoms start up - coughing, and stuffy nose as phlem and muccous build in the back of the throat and nose.
There's a number of ways to ease these symptoms and get some relief.
Short term - you need some drugs.
Paracetemol for general pain relief, a nasal decongestant to clear your breathing, and something suitable for your cough.
Ask your pharmacist about these.
Later
See your doctor if symptoms persist.
You could also try steam breathing to help relieve symptoms.
Basically this is sitting over a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head and the bowl, and breathe in the steam.
This will have the opposite effect of the airconditioning situation mentioned above. The good part of this is that it's very cheap and easy to do.
Another assisting remedy to try is a warm drink of cider vinegar and honey.
Try 1/2 cup warm water, couple of tablespoons of cider vinegar and good teaspoon of honey to cut the sourness of the vinegar. Helps ease the coughing, break up the phlem and help you get to sleep. |
