Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Is it for a short term you are having this symptoms or from many days? Usually this is a symptom of allergic cough or uvulitis, do warm water gargling before going to bed have Tab. Cetirizine for 5 days, sleep in prone position with head slightly high. Avoid direct sleeping under fan.
If it still persists for more than 10 days you would need a physical examination by a doctor.
Any issues do follow up. Take care.
Regards
