This Cough Won't Allow Me To Sleep At Night (help) by Ayokequeen(m): 8:46pm On May 27, 2020
It's over two months now that I've been battling with this cough and I've visited the hospital several times because of it. The most worrisome part of the scinario is that the cough always come at night when i lie down to sleep. It disturbes my sleep always by waking me up about every 30mins in the night. The two kinds of drugs always prescribed to me at the hospital are benyllin and tutolin which I've taken several times despite the fact that they always make me weak and feel dizzy and even make me worry as a nursing mother. This caugh still persists. Please I need possible recommendations. Thanks.

Reduce your sugar intake. Get a mixture of garlic, ginger, lime and honey. Mix them thoroughly and take it. It could be a teaspoon hourly. But the truth is reduce your sugar intake.

I suspect tuberculosis.
Go for confirmatory tests in govt hospital and stop visiting those hospitals you were visiting, I doubt they know what they're doing and you're just wasting your time and money on cough syrups

That possibly rule out spinal TB, nevertheless proceed for an appropriate test (i.e mantoux test) to ascertain if its TB(pulm) then, take appr drugs anti TB(pyrazinamide, pyridozine , Rifampicin, ethambutol and isoniazid) for the periodic course and you'll be fine...

Which type of test was it exactly, you should do gene Xpert test and not just sputum AFB which is less sensitive.
If all is still negative, I suggest you visit a hospital that has a respiratory medicine consultant/specialist for further detailed evaluation, there are quite a number of other conditions that can cause someone to cough for over two months. Could be a number of chronic respiratory conditions and it might even be of cardiac origin, try to see a specialist.
