Hello, I've been coughing for 8 days (fat) and I can't sleep at night because my cough doesn't stop. I would like to know what to take to help me.

Hello,

First of all, it would be necessary to do a COVID test to eliminate the infection from the portrait

When you have a wet cough, the ideal is to keep yourself well hydrated to allow the secretions to liquefy. We want to avoid using cough syrups that could lead to an accumulation of secretions in the lungs. The use of honey can also help soothe the throat which can be irritated by coughing.

If the wet cough persists and interferes with your sleep/breathing after more than 1 week, a consultation with a doctor would be appropriate to get a diagnosis and medication to help you breathe better

I hope I have answered your question correctly!
