Elevating Head at Night
for Cough
Sleeping with head elevated on extra pillows to reduce postnasal drip and acid reflux which worsen nighttime cough.
How it works
Elevation reduces backflow of gastric acid and postnasal drip into the throat, two common causes of nighttime cough.
What to watch for
Particularly helpful for cough caused by acid reflux or postnasal drip. Elevate head of bed rather than using too many pillows.
