dry night time cough help

[mummycxx]

Can anyone help?

Iv had a terrible cough past 2 nights takes me 3 hours to drift off after coughing every 10 mins.
Iv now coughed so hard my ribs and muscle are killing me. Cough dosnt seem so bad this afternoon but worried about sleeping!
Used my inhaler makes little difference got some medicine from boots didn't help at all
Got some broncho stop stuff today which seems to have eased a bit I just hate this pain when I cough and want to sleep :(

Also menthol cough sweets I'm eating them like sweets and it's given me upset tummy.

Any ideas what can help?

Xx

I find Benelyn for Dry Coughs, the original 'drowsy' one works really well along with Strepsils Sore Throat and Cough lozenges. If I combine these with some Boots Glycerin Throat Pastilles and sleep with four pillows under my head and a bottle of water beside my bed I am more likely to sleep well.
