If you can visit a steam room, that'll help. If not try a bowl of boiling water with some Olbas Oil in it, towel over ur head, head over the bowl & breath deeply.

coffee is the best fast acting remedy. Longer term need to take Fish oil every day, helps reduce the inflamation

Depends on the cause of the cough. I've successfully cleared up severe bronchitis with an onion poultice on the chest overnight. That's uncomfortable and messy, but it works well. Also, there is accupressure you can use on the ends of your thumb and first two fingers of each hand that works well for cough, but it won't open up the bronchi. It is a good remedy to use with others, and will help cut the cough or eliminate it all together. Let me know if you want the details. If it's cough that starts higher up in the respiratory system, I've also successfully used xlear (a nasal spray with xylitol in it).
