The current invention is a method and kit to cure chronic cough, which is typically a dry cough. Chronic coughing is frequently caused by gastric acid which has been aerosolized by coughing, thereby causing hypersensitivity of the upper airway, leading to more coughing. This vicious cycle can torture the patient indefinitely. The cure consists of gargling with antacid solution when the urge to cough presents. The kit enables the patient to carry and administer the antacid solution on a timely basis. One version of the kit includes a cellular phone to ensure that the antacid gargle is readily available at all times. No phone call is made; the phone is simply something the patient is likely to have close by at all times and is big enough to carry a small bit of cargo within it's body. During a fit of extreme coughing, which is an extremely unpleasant experience, relief often comes within five seconds of administering the liquid antacid gargle. The total course of treatment for one person for one year was approximately equal to the cost of one (1) fancy cup of coffee (Not one coffee per day; just one.).
