Home remedy:
After a gargle with warm salt water, take few drops of ground basil leaf with some juice of ginger mixed in a spoon of honey. You will be relieved of an irritating cough for the night. Or else take some powdered white pepper in a spoon of honey to calm down your throat.
Cough medicines:
Cough preparations available over the counter can help significantly. Try one with guaifenesin as the main active ingredient to loosen and help expectorate mucus and phlegm. Ask your pharmacist for product recommendations that will be most effective for your individual symptoms and type of cough.

∙ 13y agoCoughing at night can have several causes including:
- dry throat
- post-nasal drip
- reflux of acid from the stomach
- Allergies to dust mites that live on dust and dead skin cells, and which live in bed clothes
- Asthma shown by coughing versus wheezing.
A simple allergy test can rule out allergies.
A doctor can see post-nasal drip and phlegm in the throat.
Humidity can help with dry throat.
Reflux can be treated with meds like Prilosec, Zantac, or others.

Why you cant cure cold cough by medicine?
You cannot cure a dry cold cough with over the counter medicine well because they do not have opiates in them. The DXM is part of morphine but it lacks the components to silence a painful dry cough, it dose make it not as bad. But in a bad case of a cold cough sometimes its best to go to the doctor and get some prescription cough medicine if its keeping you from resting. The less rest you get the longer it will take the body to fight off the virus.
