Human: I have recently developed a bad cough. Is there anything I can do to help relieve it? Assistant: 
You could try drinking lots of fluids, getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated, using a humidifier in your home, or taking over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce inflammation. Additionally, you may want to consult with a doctor if the cough persists for more than two weeks.
