If its a dry cough that doesnt last longer than a week id suggest lemons and honey. If its a cough where you have some congestion or spitting up anything with it... Id go see a Doctor and he could prescribe something. For herbal rememdies...best to check with a doctor before using...but eucalyptus oil in a vaporise makes a soothing steam. The herb Fenugreek makes a tea that is a good expectorant. Goldenseal powder mixed in warm water relieves congestion and it is soothing to inflamed mucous membranes.( use 1 teasppon of goldenseal powder in one pint off boiling water let cool then drink)... and can be taken up to 6 times a day. Lungwort is a good upper respiratory herb.take 1 teasooon full of this dried herb in hot water and drink one cup a day. Mullein tea is wonderful for dry nagging coughs. If its a cough from a cold .. may i suggest the old fashion remedy Chicken soup. Good luck and hope u feel better soon! :)

Cough drops are exceptionally sturdy. yet once you do not have those, attempt laying in mattress for half-hour with a heat (damp) towel over your chest purely under your neck, once you're finding for abode treatments purely.

try some tea with lemon and honey, that will soothe it for a while, even though there isnt a remedy i know that will make it go away completely but this will lessen it for sure

pour a small amount of liquified honey on warm water, squeeze certain amount of lemon , put the mixture on a large cup and check the temperature of the water with your fingertip using a spoon before drinking.
