I can't have codeine (or morphine) as it causes severe stomach issues. When I was getting bronchitis annually many years ago, I always had the residual cough that kept me awake for weeks afterward. I also have allergic cough-variant asthma which contributed to the long-term coughing. Allergist prescribed Tessalon Perles that have numbing effect to stop the cough reflex. I took those successfully for a while, but now I just turn to Robitussin DM when I have nighttime cough.Sorry you have rebound symptoms. I hope you get what you need to feel better.
I've had a cold (not Covid) for about 9 days and have been having nocturnal coughing that interferes with sleep, a lifelong common problem for me after respiratory infections. There seems to be an asthma component to it and I produce a lot of sticky mucus. I've been taking a pill at bedtime with guaifenesin and dextromethorphan but still having a lot of coughing toward morning. But I wish I had a codeine cough medicine--as I recall, it's quite effective.
