Fisherman’s Friends.
Very strong flavour which you’ll either love or hate, but they do the trick.

Fresh lemon, honey, and a shot of rum!!! Always works for me

Cough mixture!

I don’t think cough syrup is worth the money. Try a cup of hot tea with honey.

10 wet pints of beer.

There is little evidence for or against the effectiveness of over-the-counter cough medicines. Personally, I don’t believe they work at all, you’re better off with a throat lozenge that contains Benzocaine, at least that will give you a bit of topical relief for a short period of time.
Just my opinion.

The pharmacist at the counter is obliged to tell you which is the best one for your cough, not to make money by selling you the most expensive one.

just go to a pharmacy and get some pholcodine linctus. Only about £1 a bottle, but works well. Also honey and lemon is good.
Try sucking boiled sweets, the saliva helps the tickle abit.

Dextromethorphan. suppress coughing. get from docs

You can buy a cough mixture in Boots called pholcodene (?sp) – or just ask at the pharmacy counter for a cough mixture which contains codeine. This suppresses the cough reflex. Any other cough mixtures are entirely useless and full of sugar so the only thing they’ll actually do is rot your teeth.

‘potters’ cough medicine if you can find it … [in chemists and/or healthshops] potters are good remedies.. or try cold pressed honey with a little lemon juice.

Horrible cough – best remedy is one part dark rum to four parts cola. Sip gently all day long. If desperate make it four parts rum to one part cola. This is a cure that makes the illness really enjoyable.
