Does dry cough has a cure or medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dextromethorphan: Dry cough can be treated with dextromethorphan - a cough suppressant, and/or an expectorant such as guaifenesin, which will help to loosen a break up a tight dry cough. Often these two ingredients are combined- such as Robitussin-DM or Mucinex dm.
