What Can I Do To Relieve My Cough That Gets Worse At Night?
Last Tuesday I started to get a sore throat. The sore throat is gone but my coughing got worse. Especially in the night time. It kind of sounds like a whopping cough when I cough. Do I have to go to see a doctor or is there something I can take for it?

Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
It can be post viral bronchitis and so cough can be present. You should get evaluated further with Auscultation examination, CBC and chest x ray. If any abnormal sound heard in Auscultation than spirometry advisable. I suggest you to take dextromethorphan containing syrup to relieve cough. Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily. You can Consult pulmonologist for examination if needed.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
