Question

Could you suggest a good cough syrup? I've had this dry cough since this morning and it's quite uncomfortable. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

For your dry cough, consider the following:

  1. Types of Cough Syrups:

    • Choose syrups with dextromethorphan or levodropropizine to suppress the cough reflex.
  2. Common Options:

    • Brands like Benadryl Dry Cough Syrup or Dextromethorphan-based syrups are effective.
  3. Additional Care:

    • Stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke.
  4. When to See a Doctor:

    • If the cough persists beyond a week, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, seek medical advice.

Use over-the-counter syrups as directed and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
