Help! Coughing Myself Silly!

Could anyone recommend two things -- a cough medication and a lozenge that wouldn't irritate my IBS?

I've had a bad cold for 10 days now and I can't stop coughing. It's a dry, post-nasal-drip type of cough.

It's worse at night when I spend hours coughing before I can finally get to sleep. I'm afraid to take anything because cough medicine seems to generally contain IBS-unsafe ingredients like alcohol and artificial sweetener. Losenges seem to generally contain IBS-unsafe things like fructose-glucose.

On top of everything else, I am not supposed to have anything with added sugar because sugar makes me dizzy. (Diabetes is in my family.)

I'm really getting desperate! If I don't find something soon, I may be evicted for disturbing the neighbours with all my coughing!
