To help ease a cough caused by COVID-19, there are several things you can try at home. Here are some tips from various sources:

• Drink plenty of fluids, especially warm drinks, to stay hydrated and help thin mucus.
• Elevate your head at night with pillows if you have a dry cough.
• Try having a teaspoon of honey to soothe your throat.
• Use cough drops, lozenges, or hard candy to keep your mouth and throat moist.
• Take cough medicine, but make sure you choose the right one. If you have a wet cough with lots of mucus, take an expectorant to help get the mucus out. If you have a dry cough, take a cough suppressant.
• Consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air and make it easier to breathe.
• Avoid irritants that can make your cough worse, such as cigarettes, smoke, dust, and strong smells.
• Stay active and move around to help loosen mucus and improve breathing.

Its important to note that if your symptoms become severe, you should call your doctor to see if you need to go to the hospital. Some symptoms that require immediate medical attention include trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion, or lips or face turning blue.
