Expectorants are drugs that greatly facilitate the withdrawal of sputum (viscous mucus) from the person's airways.
Coughing is a disease that can occur at any time of the year. Therefore, you need to arm yourself with expectorants, perhaps many of them are familiar to you, or maybe not. Therefore, I will list the most effective of them. There is a huge number of names before you can properly choose expectorants should consult a doctor-therapist.

Unfortunately, a person is not protected from diseases in special physiological conditions - during pregnancy or lactation. Therefore, it is important to choose the right expectorant in lactation. Many drugs in this important period for women are prohibited, for the simple reason that active substances can enter the body of a baby with breast milk. And this is not good.
Of course, you can do self-medication, make grass on the grandmother's prescription, but there is no guarantee that the child will not suffer from such treatment. This also makes it difficult for the mother to treat during the period of breastfeeding.
The list of acceptable drugs is rather small. Among them, you can select "Herbion." It is produced in the form of syrup. Has mucolytic, anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties. It is contraindicated for individual intolerance of the components that make up its composition. But most often it does not cause side effects. Assign adults to 10 ml of syrup - 3 times a day. Duration of treatment can vary from 10 days to 20 days.
Remember that no one cares about your health except you, so do not delay the visit to the doctor. Be healthy!
