What can I do to bring it down since I can't get any medicine right now? It's the middle of the night, and I need some sleep. I've already tried breathing exercises. Do you have any other advice?

I've been having a regular cough and it's really putting a lot of stress on my chest. My throat feels sore, and my nose just won't stop running. I already tried taking Cheston Cold but it hasn't helped at all. Can you suggest what might be causing this or if there's anything else I should try?
