Cough suppressants, like dextromethorphan, can provide relief for a short time. They work on the part of your brain that controls the process.
Expectorants, like guaifenesin, can break up congestion in your chest by thinning the mucus in your airways. This way, when you do cough, you can get rid of phlegm more easily.

Please do salt water gargling thrice a day and drink hot liquids like turmeric/ginger tea. If possible buy strepsils and betadine gargle solution from the pharmacy. If you develop dry cough, take benadryl (dextromethorphan) cough syrup twice a day, morning and night.
