Give it more time: Assuming that you only have an upper respiratory illness and not pneumonia or bronchitis, your cough should last about 1-2 weeks. There are some claims that honey helps cough, and that elderberry syrup or OTC meds with this help to shorten colds. You are not likely to need a prescription now.
