Does hot coffee suppress coughing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: While drinking coffee may have a soothing effect from the warmth. Caffeine is not known to act as a cough suppressant. If the cough is from asthma, there is some bronchodilator effect from caffeine, but the "dose" would be difficulty to determine while in line at starbucks.
