Home remedy: Hydrate well. Consider using a warm air vaporizer. Mix several teaspoons of honey into herbal tea with a squeeze of lemon juice. Or make tea with 2 tsp of marshmallow root bark per 1cup of hot water (steep in a covered pot for at least 5 minutes). Drink several times a day or as needed to relieve coughing. See a physician if your cough is not resolving, difficulty breathing or temp > 104.

Cause of cough?: The treatment of your cough would really depend on the cause of the cough. Asthma? Allergies? Reflux? Upper respiratory infection? Lower respiratory infection? CHF? Diaphragmatic irritation? Stopping a cough would necessitate knowing what's causing it.
