could be acid reflux, I had a constant cough for several years on and off, turns out it was acid reflux, I tilt my bed at a slight angle so the acid no longer entered my lungs and couldn't be happier (except the prostate infection I have now). I just piled a few of my old text books at the head of my bed and now I sleep at a slight incline (10 degrees or so)
As for stopping coughing, even if the urge is great, don’t let your self cough, try to hold out as long as you can, each time you cough, you aggravate your throat. Slow regular breaths; don’t get your heart rate or breathing rate up, i.e. no scary movies, no action flicks, no wanking. If you feel a cough coming, stop breathing for a sec, maybe it will pass.
See your doc ASAP, hopefully it’s nothing major, but I don’t want you to be a typhoid marry
Its late, I’ll try and write more if I think of anything else tomorrow.
