Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt/workup: If you are congested propping up pillows, nasal saline and using a decongestant over the counter preparation may relieve your symptoms. If you are not acutely ill and waking with a cough, particularly a dry cough, I would consider changing your pillow and having an allergy evaluation.
