Here is what works for me when I had dry coughing fits caused by post nasal drip. 1. drink a swallow of water. 2. swallow as I feel a cough coming on. 3. Fisherman's friend cough drops. 4. sodium chloride inhalation 3%. The swallowing can stop the cough reflex if it is caused by a throat tickle. If it's mucus it has to go!

Yes, I too discovered that taking a sip of water stopped my coughing fit. I could not believe it and was trying to figure out why. Now that I read your post, I am sure it was the water! Just take a swallow of room temp water when feeling the cough coming on. Wow, what a relief!
