Unless you have chest congestion, it's probably your sinuses draining down your throat and causing that tickle. Take something to dry up your nasal passages - an antihistamine like benadryl and see if it helps. Plus drink cool liquids to soothe your already irritated throat.

You don't say whether this is a dry cough, like just a little tickle or something, or whether you're trying to bring up some phlegm.
If it's just a dry cough, go with Robitussin DM (your local drug store should have a cheaper generic, which will work just fine). If you're trying to hack up some phlegm, ask the pharmacist . . . he or she will probably recommend something to help break that up, like Mucinex or something.

I agree, Mucinex is awesome! Make sure it's the kind for cough, and not just mucous.
Also, garlic and onion (especially RAW garlic and onion) are great at killing any virus you have! No one will want to kiss you for a day or two, but if you have a cough, you shouldn't be kissing anyone anyways!!

Cough Drops!
Get a humidifier running in your presence. It could be the early stages of bronchitis.

You probably have some virus. Try Mucinex, over the counter med. It will help you stop coughing til the virus is gone.

Mix honey, lime and warm water. Drink this throughout the day!
