john, I sympathise with you and have similar issues as I suffer from bronchiectasis which makes me prone to infections in lungs. i have a typical smokers cough even though I never smoked.
A few years ago someone recommended Manuka honey for the cough which at times was horrendous and couldnt control or suppress it, I was a total sceptic but being desperate I tried it and the cough subsided significantly after three days of a teaspoon full twice a day. Still being sceptical, when the jar ran out I stopped taking any and within three days the cough was back.
So I am back on it, its a bit pricey but wtf, if it helps I will pay.
Try Manuka Doctor web site and start with a mid level strength, then you can increase or decrease strength as you monitor results. Good luck mate!
