What Causes Night Time Cough?

While I am walking and standing, I am ok. But in the night, while I am lying on the bed, I am suffering from continuous cough. I had tried with Combitide 250 inhaler -. Initially it was ok but now it is not effective. Doctors said it was due to allergy cold. Kindly suggest for a solution.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having lower respiratory tract infection.
Due to collection of cough in back and lower lung gives irritation while lying down position producing cough reflex.
Take some cough expectorant for few days.
Go for deep breathing exercises daily.
Ok and take care.
