Posted On : 10 Dec 2020
There are different combinations of cough syrup present in the market, expectorant, allergic cough syrup, Codeine base syrup, etc. But most of the government hospital cough syrup is not supplied. I want to know cough syrup is of much use in children? Do they alter the course of cough?
