You have not given any other details about your cough. A cough is usually caused when your body harbors an infection of some kind. If your cough is accompanied by a running nose, and a fever, then you should consult your doctor about these symptoms.
Try some of these home remedies for coughing. Gargling with hot water will soothe your throat and give you relief. Add some salt or even a pinch of turmeric to help clear your throat. Warm water, drunk through the day, will also soothe your throat. Another effective remedy is a light herbal tea made with the juice of half a lemon and a tablespoon of honey mixed into it. Drink this as often as you like during the day. You can also use pieces of fresh ginger in an herbal tea by boiling it in a cup of water. Strain the infusion when the water has been reduced to half the quantity. You can add a tablespoon of honey to the drink and drink this through the day.
Avoid eating ice creams or drinking cold water and carbonated drinks. Drink hot soups and eat light food. Oily and spicy food will only aggravate your throat and should be avoided.
