A cough can be triggered by allergies, colds, asthma, flu, sinus infections, postnasal drip, air pollution, smoking, and some medications.

A cough can be treated with a variety of medications, including over-the-counter medicines such as cough suppressants, decongestants, and expectorants, as well as prescription medications such as corticosteroids and antibiotics.

Postnasal drip, caused by mucus pouring down the back of the throat, is a common cause of nighttime coughing. Allergies, colds, and sinus infections can all contribute to this. Other variables that can contribute to nighttime coughing include lying down, which can cause mucus to build at the back of the throat, and dry air, which can irritate the throat.

Some tips to help you sleep with a cough include:
Taking cough medicine before bed
Keeping the air moist using a humidifier
Keeping your head elevated with an extra pillow
Avoiding food and drink for at least two hours before sleeping
Trying a nasal spray

A dry cough is the most prevalent type of cough linked with COVID-19. This sort of cough is frequently associated with other symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, and exhaustion.

Some ways you can get rid of a dry cough include:
Drinking plenty of fluids.
Taking cough medicine to suppress the cough.
Keeping the air moist with a humidifier, and taking steamy showers.
Trying honey and lemon.
Using lozenges or cough drops.

Over-the-counter drugs such as guaifenesin or dextromethorphan are a quick approach to curing a wet cough. These medications help to reduce coughing and help to thin mucus. Drinking plenty of fluids and using a humidifier can also help release mucus and reduce coughing.
