Try this method if you have persistent cough esp at night!
It works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.
To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief.
Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.
An adult friend tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, ( incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.
So, if you have kids/grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try yourself and you will be absolutely amazed.

How to stop persistent night time cough?
My church member forwarded this to our e-bulletin... Why not give it a try if you have found no ways in stopping it. Share with me if it truly works once you try on...

Thank you very much for posting this unique tip!
I'm trying it right now with my daughter. I gave her a warm bath and dry toast which slowed down the cough but there were still a few coughs sticking around (about 3/ minute - instead of the usual 10/min).
Its been about 3-5min now since I put the Vicks on her feet and there are absolutely no more coughs!
I was skeptical when my husband read this tip to me but when you hear your child coughing almost every night, you'll try anything! This is amazing. I'm going to read a little bit into reflexology to see if it has something to do with the nerves in the feet.
I'm sharing this tip with everyone I know!
Thank you, thank you, thank you ,thank you, thank you!!
Dear Kelly,
Thanks so much for your kind feedback, it does encourage me in a way or so...
Im glad that it does help your daughter and I deeply believe that God will heal her definitely for sure. ^_^
Hope that you can find more helpful information from my site. Sadly to say now I no longer blogging in this blog... but.. at least it helps you..
Praise God!
oh wow. i just tried this now.....its 2:54 am here. i couldnt sleep as i've been coughing alot. i've had a persistent night cough for around 4 months......everytime i get the flu, a persistent cough follows it for months on end.
thank you. i just tried it, and my cough has stopped already.
Thanks for this post!!!!!
I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst coughing fit I've ever had.... tried cough medicine (even though I've never used cough medicine that worked), gargling salt water, hot drink etc and nothing worked. So I Came online and found this post. I can't believe it, but it worked!
The human body is very strange isnt it! great piece of information.
Once again... thankyou! :-)
Does it have to be Vicks Vaporub? I only have Mentholatum.
Hi, I tried using Vicks... Im not sure... I guess the one my church member forwarded is Vicks...
It does help most of the times, unless it's different type of cough. Anyways, glad my small post does help you who have read. Praise God!!1
Have a great and blessed day!
Well, I am going to try this. My poor son has been coughing for two days and nothing seems to stop it. Not Delsym, not Mucinex, not cough drops and not even the nebulizer. I just gave him hot green tea (of course the caffeine may keep him up) and he is in the shower now. This does make sense as it helps open up the nasal passages and soothe the bronchials. So, I'm off to try it. Hope our house...and son... gets some MUCH NEEDED sleep!
Thanks!!
Humidity is one solution. Dry coughs are from dry air. Humidity can aid avoid respiratory tract infections. Running a humidifier is perfect but if you don’t have one, you can put a basin of water in front of heat vents. When water heats, it puts wetness into the air.
My 2 year old gets a persistent chornic cough that can last up to 6 weeks. Vicks on the feet does absolutely nothing. Does not even slow the coughing down.
Just came on. line in desperation as my. Daughter has been coughing for nights . We had no vicks so tried deep heat its been 15 mins and no more coughing amazing tip thank you
Good to know at the end the coughing stopped... =) Praise God!!!
Daughter starts coughing immediately after.she falls asleep. tried this and wow cannot believe it. This cough had been going on for a week to the point it wakes her up sometimes wanting to throw up, but.not tonight. Thanks for this great tip, will definitely pass this on.
Nice!! Never imagine my small gesture of re posting wat I got years back n it helped so many of u. Praise God!
I myself would do d same when I get cough too. So it works for adults too. :) awesome!!
I'm doin it tonite, my little one is admitted in hospital n started to have this heavy caught. I did buy Vicks to rub on the chest but it didn't help. Hope your tips can give him a good nite sleep tonite.
I'm going to try right know. Awoke myself again, coughing.

Good morning, it's bout 5:22a.m. NC. Thanks so very much for tip on vicks on bottom of foot. My 5 yr. Could not stop coughing all night, so I got on my phone to get help. Not only did I find a great remedy, but also a woman who is not a shamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
Dear Mrs. Johnston,
It's very humbling reading your comment... Thank you and God bless your journey with Him in the days to come.
*smile* hugs
Just to say in desperation after listening to my 8 year old coughing incessantly for yet another night preventing both him and his two brothers from sleeping properly I found this blog. And it has been literally fantastic, I put on a sleep easy homeopathy balm that I had, added the socks and the coughing completely died down for at least 5 hours, so I reapplied!! The next night I had bought the Vicks balm and lasted half way through the night, I reapplied and it went through to the morning. It doesn't work as effectively when he is awake in the morning but after 3 months of a cough I am hoping that a couple of good nights sleep will help him to fight it off during the day. Good luck and thank you!!!
Thank you! Its helping!! I don't have vicks so iv just rubbed Rawleighs ointment on miss 6 and it seems to be doing the trick!! Amazing!! Thank you from a very greatful (& tired ;)) Mum from New Zealand :)
Yay! This does work thanks!!
Another tip I know of is eating a few (or more....) chocolate chips just before you go to bed, the chemicals in the cocoa apparently stop it.
