The underlying cause should be detected and treatment taken.
Don't smoke and stay away from secondhand smoke.
If you have seasonal allergies like hay fever, stay indoors during days when airborne allergens are high. If possible, keep the windows closed and use an air conditioner. Avoid fans that draw in air from outdoors. Shower and change your clothes after being outside.
If you have allergies year round, cover your pillows and mattress with dust mite covers, use an air purifier, and avoid pets and other triggers.

What kind of cough is it? Is it like a tickle in the back of your throat, then it could be post nasal drip and your should take something to dry up your sinuses. If the cough is productive, from the chest and lungs, and you can cough stuff up, then you need an expectorant to help loosen the phlegm. If you have insurance and it lasts after trying your own medicine, then I would check with my MD.

I have three solutions for you that have worked for me in the past.
(1) take some cough syrup
(2) turn on your shower as hot as it can go, close the door to your bathroom, at sit in there and breathe in vthe steam
(3) if you or anyone in your family has an inhaler, try using it. I have in the past even when my coughs were not asthma-related and it has worked wonders for me.

Cough if caused by cold virus doesn't go away after a week.
You need to see a doctor, if it persists for more than 13 days and worsens.

this may sound weird... but it is really useful.
take mandarins (oranges) and poke a hole from the top. stuff it with a little bit of salt, then heat it in the oven or microwave, if u decided to put it in a microwave, 10 secs for each. then u peel it and eat it... this should stop the cough... but warning... it may not taste nice.

Go to your local emergency department. You could have any number of illnesses, like whooping cough, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. Get examined and get treatment if needed. You may have something that is contagious.
