The reason for some coughs is a post nasal drip it comes from your nose so when you wake you cough try some nose sprays before you go to bed to clear your nose. If you have a chesty cough you may need to take medication to break up the mucus or if you have this situation all the time you may be developing asthma. Blessed Be.

Well, a good remedy for breaking up the mucus is to breath the fumes of Steaming hot water and cinnamon and other strong herbs. It's liquefy the mucus and let you blow your nose empty.
Now for the cough how ever, try some Menthol cough drops. like Vicks or something.

You need to see an allergist. I had the same problem nothing worked. I had to be put on a nasal spray for the mucus and a daily pill for my allergies. Have you tried Mucinex? I always take my pills before bed time because they do make you tired maybe you should switch what time you are taking them.

This I copied and pasted from a recent Email:
VICKS VAPORUB...TRY IT, IT WORKS
During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it. Some of us have used Vicks Vaporub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened. It was a surprise finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly. Polly tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.
If you have grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect

Get a humidifier and use it at night when you sleep. Close the door for best effect. That should clear it up.
