Breastfeeding Pillow

Am asthmatic, and whenever I get a mild cough or cold I am left with the cough that is heartbreaking and yet is unfortunately the worst night so I'm left with a boyfriend who sleeps on the couch!
I do not ask a medical opinion - as a doctor gave me prednisone (is not it?), But some tips to relieve discomfort would be nice. I get a tickle in the throat and when to start, I can not stop ... lol I am also against cough in my sleep.
I tried hot water, honey and lemon linctus (be careful what I believe I am breastfeeding) and sweets throat. NOTHING works! It makes me crazy. Sleep propped assistance during five seconds b4 I fall asleep and then slip the pillow and cough again!

Heeeelp!

You should try using a sauna. The steam is really helping your airways and relaxes. He could not clear the cough, but it will give you some relief. It works particularly well on a cough or dry cough pasty but works too.
