I got the flu on Hogmany and only really started feeling better today when I woke in the morning BUT I am left with this really irritating chesty cough which keeps me awake during the night, as soon as I put my head on the pillow you can guarantee I begin to bark like a seal and can't stop. I have been taking Covonia and sipping water but nothing seems to relieve it. Does any kind person out there have any idea how I can soothe this even in the slightest and get a decent nights sleep? Please!

Both of my sons have the same cough and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be alot anyone can do about it, but I have found a few little things that seem to help my little ones get some sleep. I have put a vaporizer in the bedrooms and vapor rub on right before bed and they seem to get a little relief from this really tough to deal with cough. I hope you feel better soon and good luck!

I have had the same thing for 3 weeks and know what you are going through.A good medicine intended for chesty coughs should help you and a good idea to keep at the side of your bed.Their are medicines around which have no side effects.
You didnt say whether or not you smoke because that will only aggrevate the situation.Drink plenty of liquids and thats all really,but if the situation continues see the Doctor and he will probably prescribe antibiotics which will finally do the trick for you.
