You can sleep through coughing but its ...poor you.<br /><br />You can sleep through coughing but its really hard, and violent coughing fits usually wake people up. I think we cough more when lying down because it puts a different stress on our lungs and other breathing apparatus. I can happily not really notice I'm wheezy all day but then can't sleep because of it.<br /><br />Something that might help: Sometimes you can raise your upper body up a bit with a pile of pillows or cushions, so you're at a 45 degree angle or so (as opposed to a 90 degree sitting up angle) which probably is going to be a bit uncomfortable but you might be able to sleep like that out of pure tiredness. It might make the coughing not so bad because it's not the full pressure of lying down on your lungs and breathing pipey bits.<br /><br />Also if you're throat is swollen from the dust an inhaler would probably give you some relief, even if it's just taking a puff before bed.<br /><br />Also you can water down a spoon of cough medicine with hot water (because I find you take a spoon of it and it works for 3 seconds and then you're coughing again and you're not supposed to take more for 4 hours or something). You can sip this mixture to make the relief last longer.<br /><br />There's also the traditional honey, hotwater and lemon juice to relieve your throat, which works about as well as the cough medicine and hot water thing.<br /><br />My other trick (have you guessed I'm a veteran of throat infections yet??) is if you feel you've a bit of an infection in the tonsils area - I find particularly if you have difficultly swallowing - you can gargle with dispirin (or whatever over the counter soluble aspirin that's available). Obviously you're still limited to the frequency of dosage that's advised but it can really help clear up a bad sore throat and give you more localised relief than just taking it.<br /><br />Also try and rest as much as you can, to help your body fight the thing.<br /><br />Hugs and I hope you feel betterMairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110865608550754101noreply@blogger.com
