Getting too hot will make the cough worse. Maybe try a hot cup of tea with some honey mixed in it. The honey will help soothe your throat.

You need wet heat in the form of steam. This is an incredible tip: Take a cup of boiling water, put a cough drop into your cup. While the menthol steam is coming off the cup put your face over it covered in a large towel. You now have a mini spa/steam room for your nose. Breahte the menthol steam until it dissipates. Then drink the warm liquid (which is just water and cough drop). You'll feel a lot better. If you have a humidifier, run it all night.
Hope you feel better.

You didn't say what you are sick with. Can't answer this without more info. If its a cold or flu, then use cough medicine. Heat will probably make it worse.

Drink something with citrus in it like real orange juice. And you probably don't want to be out in the cold too much.
