Cough syrups help to calm the throat and dissolve secretions. With decongestant and expectorant action , they reduce nasal congestion, expand the airways and thin the mucus in the lungs, making it easier to expel them.
However, they should only be taken after the recommendation of a doctor, as the real cause of the cough must be considered, because when a medication is used improperly, in addition to not resolving, it can worsen the patient’s condition.
