Time is the only cure for the cough. You can do a few things in the meantime while waiting for your throat to heal. First, you have to consider what the steps are that led you to having a cough. Some foreign particle, whether an allergen, bacterium or virus has entered your body either via the nose or mouth and has attached itself to the wall of your sinus cavity or throat. Second, your body goes through the self defense steps to fight the invader. Elevated temperature, over-production of phlegm to cover the particle and the cough to remove this excess phlegm. When all is done, this leaves the throat raw and devoid of this protective layer, so the cough continues. As the cough is a necessary step in the healing process, you don't have a lot of control over it except for taking an antihistamine to stem the flow of a runny nose. You can take cough syrup, throat lozenges or even hard candy (preferrably sugarless) to keep the throat coated until it heals. Warm cider drinks, teas and coffee also soothe an irritated throat. Keep in mind that a cold is contagious if the person has a phelgm productive cough.
