How it works
Elevation reduces backflow of gastric acid and postnasal drip into the throat, two common causes of nighttime cough.
Particularly helpful for cough caused by acid reflux or postnasal drip. Elevate head of bed rather than using too many pillows.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
