Make sure you drink plenty of fluids. Water is great but fruit juice will replenish any lost salts and vitamins. Make sure it's pure fruit juice.
Eating spicy foods such as chillies, garlic and onions can reduce the mucus produced when suffering from a cough. Eaten regularly it can lessen the onset of such an ailment.
Avoid dairy and fried foods which cause mucous production to rise.
Also a cup of tea can help sooth the body inside and losen some of the mucus. You can also use a warm water bottle on the chest to sooth it further.
Hope this was helpful. Get well!
