I feel the same, i've been weezy and coughing and no relief yet! Try sleeping propped up with a humidifier close by, that kinda helped my chest not feel like i swallowed hot sand lol

Put a good layer of vics vapour rub on the bottom of your feet, put on some stocks & go to bed. You should stop coughing within 5-10 mins.  Only thing that stopped me from feeling like coughing up my lungs when I had pneumonia a few months back.  Plus the menthol in it draws the toxins out the bottom of your feet. Take some benadryl to help you sleep also. I been in your shoes. I feel for you :( get better soon

Try taking two teaspoons of honey. It has several antibodies that help with an irritating cough. Make sure its all natural and not from China! Good luck, hang in there.
