Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

A cough arises because something is irritating your lungs- polluted air, cigarette smoke, or phlegm caused by a viral or bacterial infection in the lung. The best remedy is avoid polluted /smoky atmospheres, don't smoke, stay away from people who have coughs, colds and flu, and live a healthy lifestyle so as to keep your body's immune system strong.

The most literally direct way of supression is by opiates. But these are dangerous because it forces phlegm to sit in your lungs instead of being coughed up. It's only recommended for severe dry coughs.

Secondary herbal pallitive remedies are warm teas, especially anything with chamomile (for inflammation) or slippery elm (to make coughs productive). Kava tincture can be good since it numbs the surfaces like throat spray does, but it does taste strange and is only temporary.

Preventative: use a humidifier when sleeping, good oral hygiene, use nasal saline drops daily (upon waking is best), gargle with warm salt and vinegar water upon the first sign of soreness.

lots of water help flush out your body of any virus/bacteria that may becausing it..
Vitamins eat your Fruits and Vegetables

For prevention, you can strengthen the immune system by taking teas with antioxidants.
