Depending on how persistent it is, it is different for some people. AT points in time, I will be in class doing my work and all the sudden start couching but can't stop. If that is what happens to you, then I can help, hopefully. SO, what I do is stand up first and ask to go to the water fountain. Don't try to hold in your cough or anything because you won't be able to breath. So, take your time going to the fountain and stand straight. Don't slouch. Then, I go back to class and go on with my work. Usually, it comes back, so what I do is just stand up from my desk straight, I don't even go back out to get water. Just stand up from your desk and breath slowly, in and out.

First, you should see a doctor to identify the cause of the cough. You may need antibiotics. If related to acid reflux, you may need to take Prilosec or Zantac. If, like many coughs, it is from post-nasal drip, medications that dry the sinuses may help. Do see a doctor to get on the right path.
