I would recommend getting some hot tea. Put some honey and a dash of whiskey in it. If that doesn't work or you don't have these things, go into a bath room, turn on hot water and let it run and put your head over it. The steam will help. Get a glass or warm water and a tablespoon of salt and gargle with it.
Good luck - I know it is a pain in the *** to keep such.

Gargle with salt in warm water a few times then a spoonful of honey.
A handful of feathers is good for a cough but close friends may think you've got bird flu!

If it's a chesty cough, try not to lie down flat. If possible, sleep propped up on pillows. All the other suggestions are good, apart from the broken glass, I don't think that one was serious, do you ? The kiss sounded worth trying, though...

peppermint is good or you can make a cup of warm tea and add lemon and honey and sip on it, also theraflu is good for the cough, I have bought peppermint tea at the store and melted some peppermint in the tea and sipped on it, that seems to help. you can also drink chicken cup of soup, it relieves the stuffy feeling hope it helps. hope you feel better soon.

when i smoked i had a really loud cough and used to wake up in fits of coughing. Whe my mum couldnt take it any more she took me downstairs and gave me a spoonful of honey,, i hate the stuff but swallow hard and it coats your throat.

The best way is cough drops or peppermints. They usually help.

Hot lime tree (linden) flowers herbal tea.
If you don't have this, then any herbal tea.
If you don't have herbal tea, then hot soup (chicken soup supposedly better).
Someone mentions honey -- you can use honey to sweeten the tea, and lemon juice for acidity.
