What are the most effective cough medicines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment...: Treatment for cough depends on the etiology of the cough. For example, a cough due to bronchospasm is treated with bronchodilator inhalers. A cough due to acute bronchitis is treated with antibiotics, if due to bacterial infection. You need to see a doctor for cough treatment as not all over the counter therapies are indicated for all coughs and some may even be harmful in certain circumstances!
