Many will probably know this, by I have been getting great relief from this hideous cough by having a hot water bottle constantly on my chest. It really helps the pain and is a massive comfort too.

hopefully this helps one other person

I've been putting one on my back, between me and my seat. My back is killing me from coughing so much.

Another tip to control a coughing fit is to tip your head upside down so the drips running down the back of your throat instead run out of your nose.

Hold your breath for a couple of seconds. It lets you catch your breath as the coughing stops.

However don’t do it if you feel sick as it’s make that more likely!
