My allergy often causes coughing but why does the problem always seem to get worse at night?

If your cough gets worse at night it could be to do with the environment in which you are sleeping. It's not necessarily pollen that's causing the problem, as allergens like mould and dust mites can collect in your bedroom or in bedding too.

There are a few herbal remedies that help with coughs, but it depends which type of cough you have. A chesty cough for example, can be helped by the use of Bronchoforce Chesty Cough  Remedy; whereas a dry, tickly cough is better treated with Bronchosan Pine Cough Syrup

Other than that, it’s important to stay hydrated, as water helps to rinse the throat of allergens that may be lurking there. It also stops your throat from getting dry, which would only worsen a cough. Eight to ten glasses of plain water a day is the recommended amount!

Also, when you go to bed at night try to keep your head elevated with a few extra pillows as this should help ease your cough.
