How can I stop this tickly cough by tomorrow?

I have a really annoying tickly cough. I've spent most of today coughing and tomorrow I have an important meeting. It's going to be very awkward for me if I'm coughing throughout.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop/ ease up the cough. So far I've tried honey and lozenges but it doesn't help. I've drank plenty of water and tea also. I'm thinking cough medicine but Ive heard it's not very good.

My DSis swears by warm ribena. Keep a flask of it handy. I've not had enough of a cough to test it but it does seem to have helped her when we've been out together

Steam from salt water.

I gargle frequently with hot salt water, it seems to knock it back for a couple of hours.

Most cough medicines work (if they even do), by bringing the cough to the forefront so may not be great

Thank you all.
I'm currently sat sipping a warm Ribena. I'll report back later if it helped.
