What to do if i can't sleep because i'm coughing from pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep: You have identified symptoms of insomnia secondary to cough from pneumonia, you would have to treat the pneumonia first, taking something very sedating could cause aspiration, also you can elevate the head side of your bed.
