Coughing occurs for various reasons. This may be a sign of illness or an allergic reaction. Coughing can cause excitement or emotional stress. It is divided into several types: hoarse, barking, continuous and short, paroxysmal, periodic, dry or wet.
For each of the aforementioned species, there is a better cough remedy. It is only necessary to know the cause of its occurrence. Not every case requires cough suppression. This is done only when it strongly irritates the mucous membrane and interferes with the patient's full rest. In this case, the best cough remedy is medicines such as Glaucin, Libexin, Sinecode. They inhibit the cough center, and the patient can sleep peacefully.
Do not forget about drugs that dilute sputum and promote expectoration. Among them, the best cough remedy is Halixol, Bromhexine, Stoptusin and Mukaltin. Acting gently, the drugs gradually remove sputum from the bronchi and lungs, the consequence of which is the self-liquidation of the cough. You can use stronger drugs to combat sputum, which include “ACC”, “Mukodin” and “Fluimucil”.

If, at the same time as a cough, you have a temperature above 38 degrees, chest pain or sputum becomes yellow, green or bloody, then urgent medical attention is required. Which cough remedy is better in this case, only a doctor can decide.
