Suggest Remedy For Nagging Cough

My husband has had a nagging cough for two weeks. He had an appointment with his physician for another reason, and his doctor refused to talk about his cough, but only said that if it continued, he may have to order an upper respiratory x-ray. What can be done to alleviate his cough in the meantime?

As per your query, You can try these remedies for cough, cold and sore throat.
1.Saltwater gargle- gargling several times a day with warm salt water can reduce swelling in the throat and loosen mucus, helping to flush out irritants or bacteria.Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in one cup of water. Just remember to spit the water out after gargling, rather than swallowing.
2.You can take Anti-allergic Benedryl or cetrizine, it helps to reduce mucous production
3.Lozenges and spray-Sucking on cough drops stimulates saliva production, which can help keep your throat moist
