I'm suffering from a bad cough and I'd like to know what I can do to get rid of it.

The best thing you can do is to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain relief. You may also want to try using a humidifier in your home to help moisten the air and reduce irritation to your throat. If your symptoms persist, you should consult with a doctor.
