A member asked:

I have severe chest infection and blocked nose which is stopping me from sleeping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What is the question: Use a decongestant and a cough preparation containing dextromethorphan, along with an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen and you should sleep better. There are several combination products on the otc market. Check with your friendly pharmacist.
