Try administering a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and honey to the patient. Two or three teaspoons in the morning seem to be sufficient to stop the cough in its tracks. Sometimes a single dose works.

I avoid taking the mixture after about lunchtime because a cough reflex can be quite handy when asleep.

One day such homely advice will be illegal. It may be that it already is.

Stretched her on the parquet flooring,
I was loath to take her life,
but I had to stop her snoring.
