Tickly cough driving me nuts and making me sick

[nutcracker]

I have had 2 colds in the space of about 3 weeks and have been left with a very tickly couch which just will not budge at all.

It is keeping me awake at night and i coughed that much this morning i was actually sick.

Dp reckons i should go to the docs as i am couginh that much i sometimes find it really hard to get my breath but they can't do much for a tickly cough can they ??

I'm suffering a similar fate as well nutcracker, crap isn't it? I suppose this will be me until spring, when the sun shines again.

Anyway, I find propping myself up with pillows til almost sitting has a good effect and I also take a swig of This stuff last thing before going to bed and it's sooo strong you can't feel your throat!

Thanks guys, it does seem to have eaased off slightly today but i won't be able to tell properly until i am drifting off to sleep and suddenly get jolted awake by it

I will get some of that stuff tommorow Furball if i have a nother bad night tonight.

Yorkiegirl - I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to swallowing anything i don't like, or gargling for that matter.

Boots Nirolex works wonders for night time. Sounds mad, but breath through a hot wet sponge or flannel when your having a coughing attack - soothes the throat a bit.
Hope you feel better soon.
