A. Drink plenty of fluids to keep the mucus thin. Sleep with your head slightly elevated to keep mucus from pooling inside the throat. Take half a teaspoon of honey before you go to bed – this can provide soothing relief from coughs. Suck on a lozenge or take small sips of water to suppress your cough.
