# Drink extra liquids — Sometimes secretions in your lungs become thick and sticky, making them difficult to remove by coughing. A cough that doesn't bring up mucus is nonproductive (dry). Drinking plenty of liquids, especially water, helps thin and loosen mucus to make your cough more productive. By bringing up mucus, a productive cough helps clear your airways of irritants. Beverages such as juices and hot tea can also soothe and lubricate your throat.
# Breathe moist air — Taking a shower or using a humidifier or vaporizer also helps loosen mucus.
# Soothe your throat — Sucking on hard candy or cough drops, or drinking tea sweetened with honey may help prevent coughing if your throat is dry or sore.
# Try not to cough — Frequent dry coughing can worsen irritated airways. Try to cough as seldom and gently as possible. Taking frequent sips of liquids may help stifle the cough cycle.
