Hi pritpanch28 - What you have described is almost identical to my husband's cough. He started feeling flu symptoms just before Christmas and then developed a productive chesty cough at New Year 2012. This cleared but he has been left with a cough that has caused him to be sick a couple of times. He is also left gasping for breath between coughing and unable to speak for a minute or so... Also wakens him at night. We've tried everything from gargling with TCP to cough medicine and strepsils but nothing seems to make any difference. Would like to try honey as it is a natural throat antiseptic but he doesn't like it so not an option. He was recently on a course where he had no option but to eat late at night and ended up being sick during the night caused by coughing so now wondering if acid reflux may be an issue. Going to the docs next week so hoping an answer can be found. As I said symptoms very similar to yours so you are not alone!
