There's some data (and a long history of folk medicine) to suggest that ivy leaf extract is effective at soothing this kind of cough. Zarbee's Cough Plus Mucus contains ivy leaf extract; the other active ingredient is honey, so it's safe for children over 1.
Anecdotally, I tried it when I was at my wit's end with a cough (from post-nasal drip after a very bad cold) that was waking my 2 year-old all night for going on a week and seemed to be preventing him from getting the sleep he needed to get well. It worked like magic then and we've now used it a few more times with the same results. (We've only ever given one dose at bedtime. We don't medicate coughs during the day.)
I'm always slightly suspicious of so-called natural remedies if it means they're also untested and unproven. But this actually does seem to work for him, and our pediatrician is fine with it (unlike other OTC cough medicines like guaifenesin or dextromethorphan, which are a hard no).
