Since past 2 3 days I am suffering from little cold , cough and fever sometimes. But the cough is going really bad especially when I lie down and try to sleep anytime of the day or at night. Some scratchy feeling comes in my throat again and again and it continues in a non stoppable cough as soon as I lie down to sleep. Over coughing leads to slight pain at a point near my downward chest and upper abdomen. The coughing is dry most of the times which leads to a scratchy feel in my throat and lungs. Please suggest some general medication to make this cough go away or atleast so that I can sleep at nights. PS : I do not smoke or consume alcohol.
