What can I do to reduce my coughing?

I’ve been coughing a lot the past week and a half, and this week it’s become quite severe. I’m guessing it’s a case of bronchitis at this point, but the appointment with my doctor is only next Wednesday.

Now and then I’m really close to puking, I can’t do sports, and going outside is terrible – I need a 10 min. coughing fit before I can communicate properly once I get inside again.

So, I could really use a way to pass the coming week. Any tips to reduce the coughing, and improve my breathing?
