I don't want to step on any one's great remedies but I would like to share one option for chronic coughs. I put vicks vapor rub on the bottom of both feet before going to bed, then put socks on. The most and largest pores we have are the feet and the hands. I feel any thing is better than taking conventional meds. or suffering with much pain.

A remedy I used when I was pregnant (since there's not much you can take) was rubbing Amish Origins (a version of Vicks Vapo Rub) on the soles of my feet and covering them with thick, warm socks. I could get a decent night's sleep when I did that. I do this with my 20 month old as well when she has a cough, but I use Matey's baby chest rub instead since the Amish Origins is a bit strong. Elderberry syrup works well too.
