Detailed Answer:
Hii. It means you are trying to cough but it is not completing and having a spell of holding breath. Can you tell more in the details? Are you having any breathing difficulty, any change in voice, cough during swallowing liquids or solids, pain throat, cough? The best way to evaluate is do an endoscopy of the larynx or voice box to see whether there is any lesion for which you are having such symptoms. Sometimes inflammation abouve the larynx or laryngospasm due to some allergens like dust, cold, insect, animal fur can result in such symptoms. Another cause for such symptoms is to have lung infection specially bronchitis for which sometimes it will be difficult to complete the cough and it will be having some holding spell at the night. You can take levocetrizine montelukast combination tablet to get your soasm relieved. Take some saline nebulisation if possible. You can take some budecort nebulisation if this cough is too much severe. Do a lung function test with Spirometry to see the lung function capacity, lung volume. Do a chest x ray. Follow the advice and review if you have any queries.
