How do I get rid of this cough?

Had this cough since Saturday. Every time I lie down it feels like I'm drowning in my own phlegm. I've tried hot showers, cold showers, increasing my inhaler dose, steam inhalation and standing outside. Nothing works. Are there any cough medication with actual medicine in? Because they all seen to be a slightly fancier version of honey and lemon. I am so tired and I have 5 dc so can't afford to be ill.

Have you tried Sterimar? Basically saline you sniff up your nose and it helps with post-nasal drip. Takes a few days to work though. Beconase might be quicker acting - my asthma nurse recommended that when I had a cough that wouldn't go and it did help.
