PHYTOGENIC DRUGS AT COUGH IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Cough in children is an urgent problem not only due to its high frequency and non-specificity, but also because of a multitude of drugs available for treating it. In most cases, cough therapy is aimed at improving bronchial drainage function and facilitating sputum discharge. Expectorative and mucolytic drugs are most often used for this purpose. Phytogenic expectorative drugs are widely used in pediatric practice due to their efficacy and safety of use in children.
