Depends on cause: There are many different reasons for cough. Depending on the specific cause, there is a different treatment. The most common cough suppressant for irritant cough is dm (dextramethorphan). If a cough persists longer than 4-6 weeks, don't suppress---seek cause for specific treatment.
