I have had a cold for a week now. I took some syrup to prevent me from coughing at night.

Hello Ma'am,

There's a lot you can do in a situation like this, even if you take Biphentin™.

First, in a cold that causes coughing, one will try to decrease the amount of mucus that runs down the throat as much as possible by using a product like Sinus Rinse™. This product should be used twice a day for at least 5 days.

Then, at bedtime, you can take a spoonful of honey, which will soothe your throat. You can also elevate your pillow.

Be aware that the use of cough syrup is interesting, but sometimes does not offer more effectiveness than a simple spoonful of honey since it is the sugar content of the latter that helps soothe the throat.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

It feels good 😊
