have a cold, coughing all night

[KEC1984]

there is a thread a while back about what we do to help this kind of nagging cough. I usually sleep on the couch with the tv on propped up or even somewhat leaning forward... keeping the tv on pyschologically makes me think I'm not trying to sleep b/c it seems like the second I get it in my head that I'm going to go to bed, I start coughing!!!
I used to chug robitussin... know that can't be healthy, but taking the normal dosage didn't even touch how bad my cough was. (I'm talking dry, hacking, inflamed and unproductive cough.)
I used to try tea, but lately I've been drinking ice water, which seems to help with the inflammation.. also, eating pretzel rods, saltines or tortilla chips can help to... not sure why-- might be the salt in them or just the fact that your throat get the lubrication from swallowing...

pretzels do wonders for me and also warm juice or hot tea. i have also gone and just sat in a steamy shower which occasionally helps. also my dad used to give me honey and lemon juice mixed together which i think i just liked the taste of so i'm not sure if it *actually* worked or if it was just in my head <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

i have the drainage pretty bad without a cold ,so with a cold its bad. i end up having to take something .i start out with zyrtec, then if that doesnt work i take some type of cough sryup. i have tussinex, but that is really dangerous for the lung .(for me anyway ) it makes everything thicker. i take half the dosage.
