Hi I have been suffering from a cough for about a week during the day i have the odd coughing fit but at night time when I lay down I am being kept awake by constant coughing fits and i have this feeling in my chest that feel like I have inhaled water It feel like my lungs are flooded. The cough it s self is not that chesty just a little loose. Can you reccomend any relief for this as I am exhausted from not sleeping.

You could be suffering from allergic cough or cough variant asthma-a type of asthma. Take a Montair LC, a bronchodilater in the form of inhaler like Aerocort 2 puffs 2 to 3 times a day and a protone pump inhibiter like Pantoprazole once a day. If with these medicines you do`nt feel relieved pl get blood tests and xray chest done.
