Traditional cough remedies
If someone has a bad cold or cough, they may find that home remedies are not enough to relieve their symptoms. Speaking to a doctor and trying traditional medicine is typically the best option if this is the case.
Over-the-counter cough remedies include:
- Antitussives medicines: These suppress a cough.
- Expectorant medicines: These thin out mucus so that it can be expelled more easily with a cough.
