Most coughs will go away on their own within 3 weeks.

You can advise patients to:-

  • Get plenty of rest
  • Drink fluids
  • Drink hot lemon with honey
  • Avoid smoking

You can also suggest they use an expectorant cough syrups and lozenges to help them cough less and to relieve their symptoms, but these won't get rid of the cough.
