From personal experience Tussionex is the best medication for a cough. I've had about 5 chest infections in the past year and a half where I was coughing so hard I couldn't breathe and I started to throw up blood. Tussionex is a cough syrup with codeine in it, it's pretty strong stuff but really effective so ask your husband's doctor if would be ok for him to take. Otherwise I would frequently drink just plain hot water all day, sometimes with a slice of lemon in it. It soothes the throat and helps suppress the cough too.
I'm very sorry for you and your husband, I wish you both the best.
Catherine
