Try some hot tea with a little lemmon and honey in it. That usually helps.
It also sooths your throat.

Depending on how long you've had it you may want to make a visit to the dr. It could be something a prescription of antibiotics will help. Or at least he could give you a little stronger medicine to get you by in the meantime. I know your saying besides medicine..but in reality I don't feel like there's anything I can do. I feel your pain..I've had a ridiculous cough and bit of a sore throat for literally weeks now. No cough medicines, cold medicines, cough drops, sprays or anything have worked thus far. I guess we're stuck waiting it out if we're not visiting the dr. Good luck and feel better!!! :)

I found a product called Umcka. Its on the internet. Do a search in google. It doesn't stop the cough immediately, but it speeds up the healing time. It comes from Africa and is distributed from
Germany.

Hot honey lemon tea will help some. It will keep your throat lubricated but if it is a persistent cough you may want to consider going to a doctor because it could be bronchitis and that needs antibiotics to clear up.

Drink plenty of juice, tea, soup....you need liquids to thin the phlegm. Try eating hot spicy foods, they really help to loosen the phlegm as well, and make it easier to cough it up.

a shot of whiskey, lemon - to squeeze in the tea, tea, and honey
mix all this with hot hot water and drink it as hot as you can stand it. I t really works!!!!!!! Make sure you put a lot og honey in it- the taste isn't so good. So try to mask the taste, but I have heard it really works.
God Bless and Be Safe :)

An old family trick of ours is to mix up some saltwater and lemon juice and to gargle that for 3 min. Works for our family and our friends too.
