The cough drops available at the local drug store don't work for me either.
The only ingredient I ever found that will stop my coughing is balsam tolu. It's only in one cough drop, and they're darn hard to find anymore.
They're called "Smith Brothers Cough Drops". I recently saw them at the 99 cents only store.

I used to use Vicks cough drops with honey, or just take a teaspoon of honey, or put honey in hot tea and drink up. There used to be something called Robitussin that would stop the coughing.

Gargling salt water. Its the most disgusting thing in the world. But it disinfects your throat and if the infection is killed your coughing should stop. I think the distribution is 1 teaspoon salt for an 8-oz glass of water. Good luck!

If you are having a dry cough, a cough suppressant should be effective. If you have a loose cough, don't try to suppress it. Instead, use an expectorant to rid yourself of sputum.

Hot tea with lemon and honey. The honey soothes your throat and the vapors ease congestion. Feel better soon.

You need to take a medication to dry your secretions. And don't lie flat.
