FAQs

Cough is a defensive reflex of the body that functions to keep the airways clear of irritating or obstructing substances so that breathing, especially the intake of oxygen, is effective.

Cough is also the most frequent symptom of respiratory disease. Coughing that brings up thick mucus can be due to cold or respiratory infections.

Cough due to upper respiratory infections is usually harmless although it can affect your quality of life as it can be irritating and distressing to yourself and others.

Cough that is dry and doesn’t bring up secretions is termed as dry or non-productive cough. Dry cough is most commonly caused by irritation. Exposure to irritants — like smoke particles or pollution — can irritate the throat and airway linings, leading to dry cough. Infectious diseases, including a cold or the flu, can also trigger changes in the delicate tissues lining the airways, activating cough reflexes.

Sometimes cough can be chesty and productive, where you produce thick mucus. You feel tightness in your chest, with or without breathlessness. Productive or wet cough is triggered by infection, irritation, and inflammation in the airways. These triggers increase the production of mucus, which activates the cough receptors in the airways, getting them to produce cough.

Some common triggers of cough are -

• Throat infection (viral or bacterial)
• Dust and smoke
• Fumes
• Cigarette smoke
• Allergens
• Worm infestations
• Heartburn or gastro-esophageal reflux
• Certain medications used to treat heart disease and hypertension

Most of the time, a cough doesn’t require treatment. It will go away on its own. The best way to treat a viral infection-induced cough is to just let the immune system combat it. Gargling with warm water and inhaling steam will provide relief till then. Also, cough medicines may be helpful if your cough is caused by a cold or the flu (influenza).

Combination medication is used to treat cough associated with multiple symptoms. The combination should temporarily treat the cough and any chest congestion and stuffy nose symptoms caused by the common cold and flu.

Cofsils Medicated Cough Syrup serves as an effective combination for multi-symptom cough relief (i.e. it is effective in controlling cough, cold, sore throat, and other symptoms of congestion).

Cofsils Medicated Cough Syrup provides fast action (within 15 minutes) in multi-symptom cough relief. It contains diphenhyramine hydrochloride, an anti-allergic drug that relieves symptoms of allergy. Therefore, Cofsils Medicated Cough Syrup is particularly effective in relieving cough that is allergic in origin.

The syrup is also rich in the following:
Ammonium chloride: An expectorant that stimulates the respiratory tract to increase the production of bronchial secretions. This helps to soothe the air passages.

Sodium citrate: A mucolytic agent that breaks down mucus so that coughing it up becomes easier. Sodium citrate also acts as an expectorant, helping to relieve chest congestion.

Cofsils Medicated Cough Syrup does not contain alcohol as do commonly available cough syrups. Instead, it is a combination that offers multi-symptom cough relief.

• Care should be taken in administration if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to any of its ingredients.
