Tushin Expectorant belongs to the class of medications called expectorants primarily used to treat a cough with mucus. A sudden expulsion of air through the large breathing passages can help clear them of fluids, irritants, foreign particles, and microbes. There are two types of coughs, namely: dry cough and chesty cough (wet cough). A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways. Tushin Expectorant is mainly used for the treatment of wet cough.

Tushin Expectorant contains 'Guaifenesin'. Tushin Expectorant works by reducing the thickness of mucus in the air passages, this makes it easier to cough up the mucus and clear the airways.

• Avoid citrus fruits, as they may worsen the cough. Eat fruits rich in water, such as pears, watermelon, peaches, and pineapples.

Cough: Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection. Cough production is common in asthma, COPD, and other respiratory disorders like bronchitis (airway inflammation and infection).
