Cough

Cough is one of the symptoms of both bacterial and viral infections (colds, flu). The most common types are wet cough (with residual sputum and phlegm) and dry cough (persistent and tiring). Regardless of the type of cough, you should avoid smoke and ensure proper air humidification. Warm compresses or baths can be used as support. Cough is a symptom that can significantly affect our daily functioning - it can make it difficult to sleep and learn. The cough may also be chronic and worsen when changing the body position to lying down. In this category you will find agents that soothe both wet and dry coughs - antitussive tablets and syrups, as well as expectorants and mucolytics, both in the form of tablets and syrups. Cough medicines are a complementary element in the symptomatic treatment of colds, flu and inflammation of the respiratory tract. Cough syrups and tablets are also used for bronchitis and pneumonia.
