What is a good cough medicine?

Different coughs and different reasons for your cough can make some kinds of cough medicines better than others in treating them. One of the cough medicines that I recommend is guaifenesin.

Robitussin and products that are generic equivalents contain it and work best for coughs when you need to cough up thick secretions. These kinds of cough medicines are called expectorants and they loosen up the chest congestion to allow you to cough up the sputum (phlegm).Other types of cough medicines are suppressants. These are used for the kinds of coughs that are dry and hacking and usually caused by irritations instead of accumulations of lung secretions and they work to suppress the cough through different approaches.The best plan would be to ask the pharmacist at the drug store what products would work best for you after you tell them the symptoms you have.cough medicine (a medicinal drug used to treat coughing and related conditions) that has the attribute good (having desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a thing specified)
