Soups, oatmeal, and drinking a lot of beverages really helps me. Water doesn't usually help me but for some reason lemonade and milk does.

Ok so I have never tried this but I know several people that have. It's weird but if you put vicks vapor rub on your feet...yes feet...then put socks on. Supposidly it has something to do with how the vicks is absorbed through your skin. I don't know. It is worth a try maybe. Can't hurt right? Also if it has to do with nasal drainage, you may want to try a neti pot (nasal cleanser pot) this thing clears your sinuses pretty well.

Believe it or not...slather on Vicks Vapor Rub on the bottom of your feet and put socks on before you go to bed. It WORKS!!! I did it for my kids because someone had told me about it and it worked perfectly! Good luck!

I would get an aromatherapy burner and get the pure essential oil of "cedarwood" or "Eucalyptus" or a combo of both and put a couple drops of each into some water and light the candle beneath it and receive the benefits of aromatherapy.

In a controlled study, it was discovered that CHOCOLATE works better than cough Syrup with Codeine.
Dark chocolate at least 70% Cocoa is very effective. Don't try this with just any chocolate bar.
Also, regarding the tip to try cayenne pepper. That would cause coughing.
Chocolate is medicine. Don't you love it?

Cough is a prominent symptom of all ailments of the respiratory system, laryngo-pharynx, oro-pharynx, to some extent cardiovascular system, and central causes etc. Proper diagnosis of chronic cough is very important, so the best is always to consult with your doctor. However, good hydration, a fuming cup of tea with some honey and Ginger, and using Malathee a herb in tea and or just using a small piece of it as candy with some rock sugar (Misree) is helpful. Also avoid, dust, pollen, hay allergens etc.

Cough drops are pretty good. But if you don't have those, try laying in bed for 30 minutes with a warm (damp) towel over your chest just below your neck, if you're looking for HOME remedies only.

Warm lemonade with honey in it. The lemonade cuts the mucous and the honey coats your throat.

There is no medical study that shows that "cough" medicine reduces coughing. (I know this from my kids pedi and the ER). The only medicine they can give that seems to have any effect is Codeine. Codeine "may" reduce your cough, but also the cough may be protecting your lungs, so it also can be bad.
Home remedies are really your only hope, and probably the best thing for it (FOR A CHANGE!!)
It depends what is causing the cough. Since you're coming out of a cold, I'm guessing you have that nasty residual cough where you don't really feel sick but keep coughing anyway. An allergy cough or asthma cough might be helped by treating the underlying condition. An uncomplicated (no pnumonia for example) from a cold is REALLY tough. In a healthy person, a cough can last a month after the actual cold has gone. Drinking water will only soothe a tickle in the throat for a minute or two.
Here is my cough regimen:
1. Lots of fluids (water, soup, tea, etc)
2. reduced dairy, no milk
3. Steamy showers, humidfier in the bedroom at night.
3. Nice cool bedroom, 60 would be great if it was humid.
4.. Vicks in any form if you have it. (gel, cream,plug ins, for the vaporizer, it really does soothe)
5. During the day, try lollipops or lozenges.
6. BLOW THAT NOSE...REALLY GOOD.
Otherwise you just have to suffer through and try not to cough till you puke. Write it down on the calendar so you can remember if it happens again next year at the same time. This might help a spring allergy.
