my mom used to say a similar thng and her remedy was a cup of hot tea . it's from the health food store called like throat coat or something. it has an ing. called slickery elm in it and seemed to put her right to sleep. she passed n she had emphasema . i'm no doc but , it seemed to work for her , for me i have a night time allergy it's like a bloom from my neighbors hedge some times known as night blooming jasmin or mock orange. .. so there are to possible answers better than none . i hope yu didn't wait a long time like your question had fallen on deft ears sometimes thats really hard to take when you are hurting...love and aloh, nanny
