Today, I visited Dr Alan to complain about the cough. I told doctor, sometimes the cough is too severe, the body sweat. He said this normal , due to excess exertion to cough. Since it happen only during mid-night, he asked me to take a tablet of Piriton 4mg to release the itchiness in the throat, and Piriton may cause drowsiness, it give better sleep.
