Q. Is Strepsils good for cough?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Strepsils are actually more commonly used for sore throat rather than cough. They're lozenges that contain ingredients like menthol, which can help soothe a sore throat and provide temporary relief from discomfort. However, if your cough is due to a sore throat, using Strepsils might indirectly help by soothing the irritation in your throat. But if your cough is caused by something like a cold or flu, Strepsils won't directly target the cough itself. For cough, it's usually better to look for cough syrups or medicines specifically designed to address cough symptoms. If you're unsure, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for the best advice on managing your symptoms.
