Nasty cold last week: sore throat w/pus, congestion, headache. now im better but as soon as i lie down i have coughing spells (dry) any idea why?

Sinusitis: You may have some residual sinus inflammation from your cold, a saline nasal spray should ease your symptoms. Using it 2 times a day will alleviate your post nasal drip. If the symptoms continue for another week, you need to see your doctor.
