Respected user , hi
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* Severe cough indicates level of infection ( bacterial or viral ) is more ,
I would strongly recommend to consult a doctor , get examined and
cure early as you will need
- proper antibiotics - bronchodilator medicines - decongestants
all of which may not be covered from OTC cough syrups .
* Suggestions till then
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water and added peppermint oil 3 times
a day
- Avoid exposure to dusty environments ( if needed use face mask )
- No smoking
- Avoid chilled beverages , high sugar , spicy , oily items in food
- Deep breathing exercises , YOGA help a lot

Hope this clears your query .
Always welcome for further assistance .
Regards dear .
