Nope Orange Juice is good for you and the Citrus acid it contains will break up congestion in your chest. Honey and Lemon are good for Coughs also. Just mix 1 tsp of honey with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and drink it . Do this about 3 times a day until you feel better. It will help...

Your cough can be caused by anything. First of all, are you old enough to smoke? Are you exposed to passive smoke? Do you live in an area where the air is polluted with emissions? These are only a few examples. A quick remedy is to buy a strong throat lozenge. There are many brands available. Another way is to let a vitamin zinc tablet dissolve slowly in your mouth.

Another one if'n you care to make it
Take a saute pan add 1 tbsp virgin olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove
1 finely chopped chile pepper, as hot as you can take it
Saute over low heat until the garlic starts to brown
Add to some cold chicken noodle soup with a pinch of ginger
Warm up to consuming temp

I have asthma so I cough often I drink unsweetened iced tea with lemon juice[just a little] and some honey. It helps a lot.

I don't think so. I like OJ when I'm sick.
