Since it's getting to be cold season...

Theobromine, a compound found in cacao, is a more effective cough suppressant than codeine or OTC cough suppressant medication.

For best results, eat dark chocolate with as high a cacao content as you can find and tolerate. Dosage isn't really specific (and obviously going to depend on the cacao content) - eat a few squares, and, if that isn't enough, eat a few more. A hot cocoa drink made with just cocoa powder, hot water, and honey would probably also be effective, as honey is also a cough suppressant.
