Does ginger and honey for cough actually work or is it just a myth?

It works more or less, depends on the person and the type of cough. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe an irritated throat, and honey is that sticky stuff that coats your airways, so it makes sense that it helps ease it a bit. But if the cough is bad or doesn't go away in a few days, you definitely gotta see a doctor because it could be something more serious, and that part's not a myth.
