1. Stop breathing through your mouth and breathe only through your nose.

2. While performing the first step, count eight seconds between each breath.

3. Repeat this method for at least four to 5 minutes.

4. Apply Vicks VapoRub on the soles of your feet.

5. Put socks on your feet, and lay in a relaxed position for at least five minutes.

6. Walk around if the cough persists

Other methods

1. Drink plenty of water. The fluid will help flush out harmful bacteria or viruses and keep your throat moist. Suck on cough lozenges or hard candies. This will moisten your dry, scratchy throat

2. Drink herbal tea, or lemon juice and hot water, with a spoonful of honey mixed in. The hot liquid will loosen the mucus in your throat and the honey will coat your throat and suppress the cough

3. Chew on a piece of ginger with salt sprinkled on it. Ginger will coat and reduce the irritation to your throat

4. Gargle with a mixture of water and salt. The salt will disinfect your mouth and clear the passageway to your throat for easier breathing.

· Make sure you don't swallow the salt water.

5. Mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into a cup of water and drink it. Vinegar works as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic on your throat

6. Breathe in the steam from a hot shower or vaporizer. Steam moistens the air and loosens the mucus in your throat

visit your doctor for proper medical check up if the cough persists.
