Can antitussive and expectorant medications be used to treat cold?
No, because they work 'against' each other. The antitussive suppresses the cough and the expectorant loosens the phlegm and makes the person want to cough to clear the muck out of their airways.
Explain the diffrerence between an antitussive medication and an expectorant?
Antitussive medications are designed to suppress coughing by acting on the cough center in the brain, making them effective for dry, nonproductive coughs. In contrast, expectorants help loosen and thin mucus in the airways, facilitating its expulsion and making them useful for productive coughs. While antitussives reduce the urge to cough, expectorants promote the clearance of mucus, addressing different aspects of respiratory symptoms.
