Coughing at night

[mishb]

I do have a cough when I lie down, but only at night time.
It lasts on and off for about an hour and then nothing again until the next night........it is fine if I am sitting up

I did speak to ENT about it a few years ago and they weren't terribly fussed about it - just looked down my throat and said it was okay.

I see ENT on Friday, so I will ask them about it again.

Sam, I will let you know, if they say anything different this time..... a cause or a remedy

Well I spoke to ENT today about the coughing when lying down and after he looked at my throat, his reply was......

It is highly unlikely that the coughing is coming from the nose. If it was from the nose, the coughing would still be happening whether you are standing, sitting or laying down, and it wouldn't be fussy as to time of day.
He said it could be a reflux situation but with it not being his area of expertise, he couldn't say for sure and further tests by the correct specialists would need to be run
