Hello Seema, what kind of cough is it and since when? What is the colour of sputum? Do you get wheezes as swell? Any other symptoms? Avoid cold foods and oily, heavy foods in general. Avoid fried food as well. Do you suffer from hyperacidity? As of now have 1/4 tsp of yashtimadhu powder mixed with 1/4 tsp honey twice in the day (morning on empty stomach & night after dinner.) Stay away from AC, direct fan , winds etc Don’t head bath at night.

The nighttime cough, accompanied by pain in the left side of your chest or rib area while coughing, suggests an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas. In Ayurveda, nighttime coughs are often related to the accumulation of Kapha in the respiratory system, leading to congestion and irritation in the chest. The pain in the chest or rib area may be due to the strain caused by continuous coughing, which can also aggravate Vata, leading to discomfort and a tight feeling in the chest.
To address this, you can use Sitopaladi churna or Talisadi churna, which are excellent for balancing Kapha and relieving cough. These herbs help clear mucus, ease congestion, and soothe the respiratory tract. Dashamula can also be helpful in reducing Vata-related chest pain and supporting lung health. You can take warm Tulsi tea with honey to soothe the throat and alleviate cough.
For external application, you can use warm Mahanarayan oil or Sesame oil to gently massage the chest and rib area, which will help reduce the Vata imbalance and ease the pain. Avoid cold foods and drinks, as they can increase Kapha and worsen the cough. Instead, focus on warm, light foods that are easy to digest. Practicing steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil can further relieve congestion and promote easier breathing at night.
