If it is a cough where you are bringing up anything such as mucus then don't take anything to repress it as that is actually good for your body.
If not then it depends what sort of cough it is so make sure you are taking the right stuff. If it is in your chest then make sure you're taking proper stuff for chesty coughs and if you cough up blood/ it doesn't improve, you start to get chest pains or it worsens you need to get checked out by a doctor.
If it is in your thrat then yes, as mentioned above tea with honey can also help. Also honey & lemon solutions in hot/ warm water can also help. You can also get these in medicine like preparations. Cough sweets as well. Lemsip which is a UK product may also help but remember that that also has Paracetamol in it so don't take it with any other paracetamol containing products and make sure you read through the label thoroughly (the latter goes for anything you may take).
