Answers:
lemon

cough drops i.e.halls
warm drinks (warmed milk,tea but not coffee)

If you make a hot tea by mixing a teaspon of ground pepper, teaspoon of ground ginger, and a teaspoon of ground cloves, and sip it slowly, it will clear up a cough and minor sore throat usually. It's gross but I swear it works, and it makes it feel better. I guess those ingredients draw blood and the germs to the surface to help it heel, while they also have a numbing effect.
tea or chicken soup but if it doesn't heal for too long go to the doctor ;)

For me, a couple of spoons of Honey & Lemon Glycerin syrup a few times a day (read the pack) and those Swiss Ricola sweets. Milk is also a good quick soother! x
gargle with listerine a few times a day and drink a nice tall coke usually helps ..
For free?...try to gargle salt water. Or drink hot lemon tea with honey.
