Alkalizing taking baking soda 1/2 teaspoon two times a day plus apple cider vinegar or just baking soda alone also helped. Vitamin Sodium ascorbate help, but I had to take over two months along with the other remedies for more than a month. The dose was 1000 mg./day in case you are wondering. Zinc seems to help, but it takes a little time, the preferred form is zinc gluconate, zinc acetate, taken 50 mg for once a week, at least for me anyway.
Most helpful for me was the N Acetyl Cysteine, the menthol crystals, followed by alkalizing baking soda.
Doctor's medications made the cough worse for me and I went right straight through to Emergency rooms from antibiotics side effect.
