Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I have had a on again off again cough now for about 2 months--A bunch of my teammates were all fighting this cold/flu for a week or so and eventually it got to me---I had a cold for a couple days before feeling better however the cough that came with it did not go away---The weird thing about this cough is that it would only bother while I was laying in bed about to fall asleep. Didn't matter what time of the day--if I was taking an afternoon nap or before going to bed I would have to cough for like 10-15 minutes and then it would go away and I would fall asleep---Also I would feel like nasal fluids would be draining down my throat because I would have to hack up spit---well eventually the cough went away---a couple weeks later it came back--but not as bad--and then it went away again---this was all happening while I was at school(mid-march to end of April)---well I am at home now and this past weekend I went out Friday night---had a decent amount of drinks and didn't go to bed until 7am---I didn't go out Saturday and felt ok--Sunday I felt good until night time---when I was going to sleep the cough came back---I slept ok last night and have had little coughs throughout today---anyone have any idea what this cough is?

Kind of coughing up flem---it feels like nasal fluids are draining down my throat and get caught---and I can't swallow cause I have spit in my throat---and then I cough it up and then it goes away--and I fall asleep---the spit is clear/white---normal spit color---the weird thing is that it only happens when I am about to go to sleep---I have no temperature---normal energy--no muscle pains--everything is normal---anyways last night it didn't bother me--fell right asleep---maybe I never really got the Flu completely out of my system--and the going out all night--broke my body down again? Any other ideas?
does it ever happen in general when you lean back for prolonged periods of time
do you have any hisotry of allergies or asthma in the family
in addition to the night time cough, do you ever find yourself breathless or wheezy at times of anxiety, emotion, cold or exercise?
how long ago did you last have the bout of cold? were you particularly congested?
I always say this, but do go see a doc as they are the only ones thayt can see you and examine so they are the only ones that can give you any real diagnosis. I would hazard a guess that this is a post nasal drip which has yet to resolve depending on your answers to the above questions, but I'd still see a doc, even if only to put your mind at rest, medical consults are free in your country right?
