Cough and Cold, could not sleep last night,

Hi AjaySinghBaghel, it's really awful if we couldn't enjoy our usual sleep at night. I did suffer from terrible cough in the middle of the night after a few days after Chinese new year in the past Feb. We had a pleasant family gathering in my house. You know, the majority of the desserts cookies served were deep fried and oily as well. But all of them were really delicious respectively and it's sad that I couldn't help taking great amount of them. Might be I didn't taking enough water after eating the fried and oily stuffs, and I felt pain in my throat after a couple of days. I didn't take any good care of it even though and I had a cough then. I was disturbed by the continuous cough and couldn't fall asleep anymore. My husband gave me a few fresh ginger slices to chew. I felt rather comfortable when the cough stopped. The following days I took half cup of tamarind juice twice in a day. I coughed slightly the next two nights. After a week or so I was free from the disgusting cough finally Happy posting

I don't fancy cold drinks, in fact I try to avoid them if possible just so that what you've mentioned won't happen. I don't want to irritate my throat unnecessarily. Plain water in room temperature is just fine for me. When you're down with cough & cold or even before & you know it might be coming, take vitamin C & loads of rest as well. Sometimes it's due to lack of rest & our body immune system is lower than normal & at such a vulnerable stage is when the viral / germs attack happens.

My baby daughter has had a really bad cold and now she has a mild cough. She has given me to cold but I had it milder than her. Now I have a sore throat and my nose feels blocked in the night. My throat feels as dry as a desert and how ever much I drink it doesn't feel well. I have just have a cranberry and raspberry juice to soothe it. My baby daughter has been waking up in the night and crying. I have therefore been getting sleepless night. I hope that you feel better soon and get some sound sleep tonight.

I remember having colds, and I could not sleep; because I couldn't breath. Having a cold is no joyride. It hard to breath, and the coughing is very aggravating. I find taking 1000 milligram of vitamin C helps to shorten the cold. Drinking ginger tea is a good idea. I also made a concoction of honey and lemon to soothe my sore throat. I really hope to never get a cold again; so I take Vitamin C daily.

Hi. AjaySinghBaghel. If I take a shower and go outside without a coat on, I will get a sore throat. I think that your body is just reacting to the cold drinks that you had with your friends. Especially if the air outside was very cold. I think that if you drink the ginger tea, you will be fine. I hope that you are feeling better now. Take care.

it usually works for me. when i want a good quality sleep, i rub my feet with vics vaporub and wear socks especially when i have colds. try drinking hot lemon juice, it's also good for the throat and your source of vit c.

Touch wood , I haven't had a cold in a very long time. And Thanks to my allergy pills and decongestant pills and the occasionally aspirin ! I hope you are feeling better. If it is a cold , take some chicken soup, It is Jewish Penicillin, lol!

Hopefully you've recovered full by now AjaySinghBaghel. Cough and colds? Yes I just had that last week...and I had to be absent at work because I had fever as well.

Hi Ajay Singh Baghel: It has not happened to me recently even if I can tell you that it's easy for me to get a cough. When I have a cough I usually eat mints or drink something that will help my troat so feel better, like for example honey. Thanks for giving me this advice, I know we have to take care too much on what we eat or drink when we don't feel very well. ALVARO

The only one time I couldn't sleep at night because I already took a long nap during the afternoon. I might overslept a bit. Also, I couldn't sleep because I broke up with my girlfriend, and I felt that she is not worth with our relationship together. Oh well, there are many reasons why you couldn't get a good night sleep.

You please consider this saying which is very popular.."Treated cold lasts 7 days and untreated cold lasts one week"So far no one has invented medicine for cold which is true.There will not be any human being who does not get cold and cough.If any one says NO it is hyprocracy..
