According to numerous television commercials, there is one well-known panacea for sore throat or cough - these are cough drops.
Today on the shelves there are a lot of healing “sucking sweets” that will not only relieve irritation in the throat, ease breathing, soothe pain, but can also safely replace many medicines. In addition, cough lozenges are very pleasant to taste and therefore are one of the means that children take with great pleasure.
First of all, it should be noted that cough drops are by definition not a cure. Manufacturers called them "food product", in particular, such as "Travisil", "Halls", which are considered highly effective and completely harmless herbal preparations, which are especially useful for dry varieties of cough.
In their composition, various plant components are so selected that together, in a set, they are not only able to eliminate cough, but also perfectly refresh the oral cavity.
After the first “sweetie” is resorbed, it becomes much easier to breathe, and the sore throat, albeit briefly, but recedes. The reason for this is eucalyptus and menthol oils , which are the main therapeutic components of literally all candies. These components are known to be famous for their anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities, and it is they that help to achieve relief at the first symptoms of a sore throat or flu.
In addition, cough lozenges practically do not dry the throat, do not cause numbness and burning in the mouth, which sometimes occurs after using therapeutic sprays.
In the treatment of laryngitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis or tracheitis, the result of which, as a rule, is a cough, doctors recommend the use of such drugs that can be anesthetized locally, with an anti-inflammatory effect. Cough lozenges, such as Dr. Mom, which are a herbal medicine with an expectorant and anti-inflammatory effect, meet these requirements.
Pastilles are used in the symptomatic treatment of diseases of the respiratory organs, which are accompanied by a dry and painful cough. And the huge variety of flavors presented - strawberries, orange, raspberries, lemon, pineapple - makes the treatment pleasant even to the taste. During an acute cough, you can take one lozenge every two hours, but no more than ten pieces per day.
Sometimes a cough overtakes a person in the most inconvenient place: at a lecture, in transport, at a lesson, in a movie theater, during business negotiations, etc., which is why pastilles in such cases are most convenient. They easily fit in a travel bag, and in a school bag, and in a women's cosmetic bag, and in the pocket of a business suit. However, they will not tip over or spill.
However, you should be aware that lozenges and cough lozenges cannot cure the disease on their own, they are an additional drug that is intended to alleviate the condition of a sore throat rather than fight the disease.
Another drug - “Azst”, with a dry cough is simply irreplaceable. He is able to quickly and effectively remove sputum, translating the cough into the productive category.
The main active ingredient of this drug is acetylcysteine, which safely dilutes sputum, thereby ensuring its withdrawal. As a result, the pulmonary and bronchial pathways quickly get rid of the pathogen, as well as its waste products.
At the same time, it must be remembered that in order to achieve the desired result, along with this mucolytic agent, you need to take a large amount of liquid - up to two liters per day.
"Azst" is available in various versions: it can be tablets, and syrup, and spray, as well as a solution for injection.
