A member asked:
I smoke and when i lay down i get an itch in my throat causing me to cough through the night, what can this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibilities.....: This could be caused by post-nasal drip. When you lay down, the nasal drip goes into your throat resulting in the tickle followed by cough. There are prescription nasal sprays to help this so see your doctor for eval and treatment as well as smoking cessation.
