Fucking covid cough, how can I get rid of it?

I'm barking like a seal. Whatever it is is stuck at the top of my chest. It's not a productive cough. I'm two weeks in and it's showing no signs of going. Any ideas beyond honey & lemon?

Steam inhalation over a bowl of kettle water with a lump of Vick and a towel over your head? Might loosen things up, so to speak (sorry)

Going through the same.. had symptoms a week last Tuesday, tested positive last Saturday. Had cold/flu symptoms but now this cough is something else, and talk about bunged up!! Felt like I had a tennis ball in my throat this morning. I've tried expectorants, decongestants but nothing is really shifting the gunk. I'm too coughing like a seal, and it's worse at night, waking up 3 or 4 times with a coughing fit. Don't know what else to do. (I might do a vapour steam to see if it helps.. and yes, plenty of liquids.) Will the cough ever go though? (DH is the same, he caught it a couple of days earlier than me and is always coughing like crazy but he doesn't have the gunk, fortunately).
