Need to get over a cough fast

[Crabacus]

With terrible timing, I've been ill with a cough since last Thursday but have a big birthday party this weekend!

I only have the cough, no other symptoms and it's not covid. Hopefully I'll be a lot better by Saturday anyway but what can I do/take to maximise my chances of shifting it by then?!

As it could be covid (we're in a wave) the best thing you can do is rest

And do warn any guests who might be particularly vulnerable, or whose vulnerability you do not know, so they can make an informed decision about exposure (it's one thing to know you might encounter it anywhere, but quite another to be indoors with someone who has been symptomatic in the previous 7-10 days)
