Some suggestions: I would recommend a screening test for pertussis if your symptoms are consistent with this diagnosis. In addition, .your physician can screen you for asthma/wheezing. If you have congestion, then using more than one pillow during sleep and a decongestant can help. If the cough seems to start from your throat, I would recommend a lozenge or a tsp of honey.
