A member asked:
I have a persistent cough which gets worse with any movement, i have been using benyln for almost a week now however no change. what can i possible try next?

Probably nothing: Unfortunately, the vast majority of coughs do not get better with cough medicines. People who take them and get better probably would have gotten better anyway. The lungs need time to heal from whatever failed them, and most medicines won't make that happen any faster. Avoid irritants, use humidity and give yourself time to heal.
