1. Warm honey and natural lemon juice.
Take a teaspoon or two every half hour or so. It's helped me before.

3. Absolutely recommend that one. I had been hacking for over
a week, until I almost passed out at work one day in a restaurant. One of our kitchen ladies microwaved the juice of several fresh squeezed lemons mixed with about an inch or more of honey in the bottom of a cup. I drank down the 1/3 cup or so mixture, and INSTANT cure, with no return at all to the coughing. Most amazing cure of my life.

Cheap, too....you can buy a bottle of frozen lemon juice for about $1.59 here.

2. Blackberry brandy - straight. Just sip it.
You don't need a lot, just enough to coat your throat. Of course, you may need to coat your throat repeatedly over an extended period of time. :evilgrin:

4. hmm...
Could be serious bronchitis. Get yourself to a doctor and get it checked out. I had the same issue many years ago, a cough that would just not go away. Went to the Dr. and was diagnosed w/ bronchitis. He gave me some antibiotics and, within a week (well, a week and a few days), it was gone.
