26, M. Diagnosed with laryngitis a few days ago and this cough is killing me every-time I try to sleep. Feels like every 30 seconds I’m interrupted with a cough fit, and it’s been taking me hours to fall asleep. I was always told by my pediatrician when I was younger to never take cough suppressants as with asthma, it can lead to pneumonia. I wouldn’t be taking it for cough related asthma, but for a cough from laryngitis. If I took a low dose, would that be alright? Anyone ever take DXM like DayQuil and was fine?

Thanks
