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. Many over the counter cough preparations are made with this drug that comes from the guaiac tree and was initially discovered and used by Native Americans. 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)

Is Tamiflu good for a cough?
No, not really. Tamiflu is an antiviral medicine that is given to help reduce the duration and lessen the severity of symptoms in influenza and other viral infections. It is not made to be a good cough medicine although it will eventually help you get over the flu and stop coughing. A good medicine for a cough from the flu is called guaifenesin, you will find it in Over The Counter cough medicines like Robitussin (and its generic equivalents). It is also the active ingredient in Mucinex which will also help control cough from influenza.
