Relieve Night Coughs

Hack: Use it to help with night coughing.

Vicks is typically applied to your chest to relieve congestion and coughing. But it can also be put on your feet as well to stop night coughing. It might sound strange but putting Vicks on your feet before you hit the hay can provide nighttime cough relief. Rub a good amount of VapoRub all over your feet and cover them with socks. Your significant other will appreciate the good night’s sleep too.

Coughing tends to get worse at night because a person is lying flat in their bed. Mucus can pool in the back of the throat which can cause coughing. Sleeping with your head elevated can decrease postnasal drip, which causes coughing at night.
