spencersok I'm going to post a note here that may or may not be helpful. I coughed day and night for years. Truly thought I was going to die in a coughing spell. Would cause me to vomit, to wet, just the strain of the cough was horrific. I started taking two Benadryl and one hydrocodone (yes, I know it's an opioid ---- but my regular doctor said I would not be addicted with one daily. If I take those three pills after supper, it takes about 60-90 minutes to take effect, but you know..... it 90% stops my coughing and I can get through the night in pretty good shape. I used to have to sit up in bed all night with the coughing but I don't do that now. I've done this for about a year. It may quit working for me, but as long as it does, I'm going to go for it. Of course it doesn't help the daytime but I was just so thankful to be able to get some sleep.
