How to Stop Coughing at Night
70
Quick & Easy
Ever gone to bed at night and you have a cough and you can't stop coughing? This is bad for your health and body as it can hurt your stomach with heavy coughing constantly and you will also get quite hot with the additional movement.
Here is a solution to stop coughing within 5 minutes and make the coughing stay away, allowing you to get some needed rest.
Requirements:
- Vicks VapoRub
- Woolly/thick socks
- Glass of Water (optional)
Step 1:
To stop coughing, all you need to do is buy some Vicks VapoRub (Grease-less) and apply a fair amount to the soles of your feet. Not too much otherwise it will feel too slimy and wet.
Step 2:
Straight after you apply the vapor rub, put some woolly or thick socks on your feet and tuck your tracksuit pants or whatever you wear to bed if you wish.
Step 3 (Optional):
Hydrate with some water if you need to, this helps to cool down as thick socks may get hot.
If you follow these steps, you should be able to stop heavy coughing within 5 minutes and be able to get to sleep in under 15 minutes.
Additional Information:
Being close to Summer in Australia, you may want to skip this guide, as woolly socks in 35 degree heat isn't fun.

iv had many people tell me this but i didnt believe it would work
I know, I know, It sounded weird to me the first time I tried aswell, It feels funny on your feet =D
But it does work. Why would I post a whole hub on a 'joke'...
I suffer from bad coughs at nights so I am going to try this now in a min I really hope it works
IT REALLY WORKS WONDERS !!!!!!
I have a bad bacterial infection.. I got antibiotics for it and I used Vicks Vaporub on my chest last night and it helped... I cough every 10 seconds this is so painful...I will try putting the Vicks on my feet tonight (and chest too)..and I will see if it works... I've been coughing for a few days now so I am so desperate to try anything
I came down with a cold only a week ago and as the week has gone on ive developed a tickle cough and at night i feel like im choking on my own saliva and coughing continously and cant sleep Ive not got a wheezy chesty cough and when i breath i sound clear.ive tried a few cough mixtures and nothing has worked so far trying the vapour rub and socks as we speak as so desprate to sleep. can anyone help me with any advice my throat is feeling quite sore with the irratation of the tickle cough and im very tired. :-(
Worked for me!
worked for me too. thanks!
It worked for the first five minutes and then I went right back to coughing
I know this is an amazing remedy.....just believe it and try when in need....it will work for you too.
Worked the first night for my husband but not the second night, Will try again this evening.
Ive just been coughing really badly thought id check some tips out!! As i was reading ive noticed it had stopped!! So maybe if you try and forget about it just might work!
Thanks!!!!
Fantastic!! This works so well. My chest is still rattling, but I think I may get some sleep. No coughing for 30 mins and counting.
it works... tried it just now
I am trying to use Life Brand Vapour Rub 1:30am. Will let you know if this works.I also took a Benadryl. Hope either works
Why not try it?
very useful to me. Thanks....
I'm going to try this tomorrow and post my results afterward. Right now I want to rip out my lung branches and rinse them free of muck under a tap before putting them back in. If only I could!! I've been coughing for days and it is driving me to despair. The only moments of relief are inside a steaming shower recess. I already have my work absence covered by a doctors certificate so all I need is to stop coughing and I can sleep for days. Oh sleep! How I miss thee.
Well ...... sorry didn t work 4my 9 year ol maybe it jus work for sum ppl jus because it did not work for me >>>>>>>it jus might work 4 yu > thanx anyway !!!!
I tried it last night for my 12year old and it worked for her. She is asking for me to do it again tonight. Will let you know if it works the second night.
Was really impressed at how much this works at first I fort do I do It or am I going to fall for a prank but I gave it a go and very impressed
it worked, but only for a while. then i coughed again.
Waited 10 minutes still not working. Coughing every other minute or so
I did this last night, IT took about 10 minutes but it did start working, I got an hour and a half of sleep. Better than nothing. I will try it again. hopeful that I am getting better with each day.
will try it tomorrow on my husband
