My boy used to get it quite often, I had to make a few midnight drives to the hospital because his breathing had got so bad.
The last night I went to the hospital the Doctor told me, "John before it gets this bad, as he starts acting up at night, wrap him up a warm blanket and have him stick his head out an open window for some cool fresh air".
I did from then on and I never brought him back to the hospital since, that cold air, or cool air from the window would supress any cough and losen up his throat. Try it out.
