Some Ways to Relieve Cough
Continuous coughing can lead to some discomfort like headaches or the inability to fall asleep. You can prevent and relieve some of the discomfort by making sure you clean your home regularly.
It is advised that you replace curtains, bed sheets, and other furnishings regularly, especially coverings that may not be consistently dusted. Also, vacuum and sweep away hair and pet fur, which may accumulate on carpets and furniture. A lint roller works best for this type.

To help you get a good night’s rest, you may also opt to diffuse some oils like lavender. Humidifiers are also a great way to diffuse scents, while purifying the air around you.
Lastly, make sure that you keep your head in an elevated position when sleeping.
