Acupuncture is quite successful at treating coughs, no matter what the cause. It's definitely worth a visit to your local practitioner. He or she may check into whether you suffer from allergies or whether there is mold in your house, or even if you suffer from digestive issues like GERD (which is often aggravated by lying down and can manifest as a cough). All of these issues are treatable with acupuncture. I am impressed that your GP is knowledgeable and open-minded about other modalities like this.
