Top Tips

  • Choosing the right medicine for your symptoms is very important. Some medicines suppress the cough, which can help you sleep. Others soothe the throat to help with dry coughs.
  • Environmental factors can also have an effect on your throat. Make sure the air in the room you sleep in is not too dry as this can make a cough worse.
