Boil a pan of hot water, add a few drops of black seed oil to it, and then inhale the steam by drawing in a deep breath. If you’re suffering from a dry cough, you can even use a humidifier to increase the moisture content in your bedroom.
Stay Hydrated
Phlegm or slimy mucous can drip down the back of your nose and throat, irritating your airways and triggering cough attacks. One way to alleviate the symptoms of a viral infection is to stay hydrated throughout the day. Increasing your water intake can thin down mucous and make it less sticky. As a result, your throat will stop feeling scratchy and you will be less likely to cough. Also have steamed sliced onions with your meals as a salad or blend it into a soup with a few cloves.
Staying hydrated also has other benefits. It helps your lungs clear out excess mucous buildup. You also need water for optimal immune response. Our body releases histamine when it’s dehydrated. Histamine, an inflammatory organic compound, stimulates mucous production and causes your nose to swell up, increasing the risk of a midnight cough attack.

1/4 tsp salt in half cup hot water.
TAKE A HOT BATH OR SHOWER BEFORE BED
The drier your airways, the more irritated they get and the more likely you are to cough the night away.
Steam, heat and moisture, all three of them can break up the congestion (that tight feeling you feel in your chest) and help loosen up the cough-inducing phlegm in your airways which a hot bath or shower can help open up and also keep you warm.”
