During winter months our body is prone to getting sick much easier. Especially, if your daily commute includes train or a bus, you stand at higher risk of contracting someone else’s colds or flu.
People typically correlated a cough with old age, long-term consequences of smoking, or second-hand smoking. However, not always this is the case.
Coughing is a condition through which the body is trying to clean our respiratory system. Usually, it is an early warning sign of something about to happen.
When experience coughing, most of us head out to the closest chemist to grab a syrup or something that will ease the scratch in our throat. However, it seems that there is something else that you can do except throwing your money on medicine that does not always work.
Early research dating back from 2006 has shown that there is no evidence demonstrating that these products do anything to relieve a cough. At best, they can offer the benefits of placebo effects and making billions for the companies that make them.
Some might disagree but knowing that cough syrups are inefficient is the first step to learning how to treat them.
