A member asked:

My mum complains that she will cough a few times every night when laying down her bed before sleep, and it stops there.why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough is reflex: To anything that irritates throat. Infection, dryness, acid reflux are possibilities. If she has no fever and cough stops after a few times, it is probably nothing serious. If it persists or becomes worse, take her to a doctor to make sure there is nothing wrong with her lungs or throat.
