Does durasalyn liquid help with the cough?
Patient: My kid who is 3 yrs old has been suffering from severe cough for the last 15 days. Doctors have prescribed many drugs but nothing worked fine and finally he is on medication with 'Durasalyn liquid' syrup. Could you please guide us if this syrup is effective for cough. Doctor: Hi thanks for contacting HCM...Noted your child having cough since 15 days.Here you have prescribed theophylin syrup by your doctor...If bronchoconstriction is present like that in asthma or bronchitis then it is useful..Your doc might have examined him so giving this syrup...If cough is dry then dextromethorphan like cough suppressant syrup also useful.Your child must be physically examined with auscultation for searching cause.Respiratory rate also counted....You can discuss this with your doctor and syrup can be taken...Take care.Dr.parth
