I see that this original posting was done more than a year ago - it would be really good to know if 'paulisue' tried any of the above suggestions and gained some benefit. Someone suggested using Bryonia - this is certainly a remedy that is commonly used for coughs and may help - but there are hundreds to choose from. A remedy is only 'homoeopathic' if it matches the symptoms that the individual is experiencing - there is very little information here e.g. what makes the cough worse or better, how did the cough start etc etc.
