There is nothing worse than trying to sleep when you are constantly coughing or you can’t breathe through your nose. These are great ideas that you have given, although sometimes taking a cough mixture makes me cough even worse than before. I definitely find honey does help to soothe the throat, especially if combined with ginger and warm Rooibos tea.
When my mom-in-law gets a bad cough, which is quite often lately, she finds sleeping upright helps her to stop coughing and get some, although poor quality, sleep.
I rarely have a cold, but when I do, drink lots of lemon, honey and ginger. My colds normally last for 3 days and even if I have the flu it lasts for the same amount of time.
I normally keep well hydrated by drinking up to 2 litres of green juice daily comprising of apple, cucumber, parsley and carrot juice.
So far so good!
This post is a real lifesaver for anyone dealing with that annoying nighttime cough during a cold. I appreciate the practical suggestions like using honey, cough medicine, nasal decongestants, warm liquids, elevating the head, and using a humidifier. The emphasis on natural remedies, like honey, and the caution about overusing cough medicine are particularly helpful. Thank you for a very helpful post.
