Cough Medicines

Cough medicines are used to alleviate the symptoms of coughing associated with colds, flu, or other medical conditions that affect the respiratory system. These medicines can be classified into different types, such as expectorants, which help thin and clear mucus from the airways, and antitussives, which suppress the cough reflex. Many cough medicines also contain antihistamines or decongestants to address related symptoms such as runny nose or congestion. The aim is to provide relief from persistent coughs, improve comfort, and ensure restful sleep.
