I had an upper resp. infection a few weeks ago which seems to have improved.  Now I have a deep cough (meaning that I have to keep coughing and pretty hard for the sensation to stop) that gets really bad when I lie down.  Now my head is beginning to hurt when I cough as well.  I dont have any more congestion or a runny nose.  I do still cough up gunk though.
