COF-15 Syrup

Cold and Asthmatic Cough :

• Cough is a condition in which minute particles enter the respiratory path and irritate the airways. This blockage hampers the flow of air from nose to lungs and vice versa. Cough is a rapid expulsion of air from the lungs typically in order to clear the lung airways of fluids, mucus, or material. Some coughs are dry, and some others are considered productive. A productive cough is one that brings up the mucus. Cough can be categorized as acute (if less than 3 weeks) or chronic (if greater than 3 weeks).
• When external dust, pollen etc. enter the airway path, to expel those dust our inner surface of respiratory system secrete more amount of mucus. The mucus secreted will mix with the dust and expel out through body in the means of cough. During this process more amount of mucus secretion reduces the air flow in to the lungs due to thick deposition of mucus. If the problem occur in regular interval and if not treated properly may turn into bronchial asthma which is very difficult to cure.
