Whiskey
Have a similar problem getting sleep here, due to wife's dry cough. She doesn't like whiskey, maybe I should try some 😀
Benylin Original (the drowsy one) works for me.
Hot toddy.
buttercup syrup here. works every time.
Medised. By the pint.
Try rubbing a good amount of Vicks on the soles of your feet before bed and put a light pair of sox on, don't ask me why but it does work.
Whisky, honey, hot water. All in the same cup/glass.
same here not slept proper for 3 days now, death looks like my only way out...
Ask the pharmacist for a cough suppressant.
If that fails, raid your drinks cabinet for anything syrupy - maybe polish off that unwanted bottle of Archer's Peach Snapps
A teaspoonfull of slow gin worked for a one year old. Just scale up to your size and age.

Unwanted??, how dare you!!!

Hot milk and honey .
Add an anti hystamine tablet if they make you a little woozy.
Should see you right.
My pet pharmacist generally recommends

for this kind of thing.
Vicks on your chest and about 10 drops of olbas oil in a large jug or pan of boiling hot water in your room. The eucalyptus and menthol vapour help suppress your cough..
Or just TRY what i said 😉
