Oh dear! You are having a bad time. I can only suggest the usual things to help a cough like a steamy shower room, any cough medicine to soothe your throat and organise lots of visits to and from friends. This won’t help the cough, but it will distract you and cheer you up. If you are feeling really poorly, get an emergency appointment or see if the nhs helpline 111 is any use.
