How to stop coughing using home and natural remedies?

Here are some home remedies to help stop a cough from a cold or viral bronchitis. Drink plenty of fluids to keep the mucus thin, watery and easy to cough up. Warm, moist air also can loosen sputum and make coughing and breathing easier by:
•    Using a vaporizer or humidifier  
•    Standing in or near a hot shower  
•    Drinking hot tea or soup  
•    Breathing in the steam from a sink or pot filled with hot water. You can catch more of the steam by tenting a towel over your head while bending over the water. For safety reasons, do not breathe from a pot of boiling water that is still on the stove.
