[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 301909, member: 1991"] I'll keep an eye open for that play, Trish. Look after yourself - is the cough just part of your asthma, or is it an infection? Do get it checked out by your GP - that cough could also be whooping cough and it is REALLY nasty, especially on top of something like asthma. Early diagnosis is treatable with special antibiotics, but despite getting tests done early, husband & I didn't get diagnosed early enoguh. We've now been told that for us, the cough could continue for another year, and any chest infection we get in the meantime could be a lot worse. It's highly infectious and doing the rounds on the entire east coast. Everyone's panicking about swine flu, but this is actually a bigger problem. Look after yourself. And yes, sleeping either on your side or with head elevated will be more comfortable. Also, you could try sleeping with your mouth protected from cold air intake - I found sleeping in a surgical mask made the cough less of a problem at night. Keepnig warm and especially wearing a scarf round my throuat in the cooler evening air also reduced the cough. Marg [/QUOTE]
