About Prospan Sugar Free Cough Syrup
Prospan Sugar Free Cough Syrup belongs to the class of herbal medications used to treat sore throat, cough, and phlegm in adults and children over two years. Coughing is the body’s mechanism of removing irritants from the airways and protecting itself against illness. There are two sorts of coughs: dry cough and chesty cough.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise
-
Drink plenty of fluids every day. It helps thin mucus and makes coughing easier.
-
Consume complex carbohydrates such as lentils, beans, barley, oats, quinoa, bran, peas, and potatoes with skin.
-
Eat potassium-rich foods like bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroots because potassium is important for lung function and a potassium deficiency can cause breathing problems.
-
Consume protein-rich foods like meat, fish (especially salmon, sardines, and mackerel), eggs, and poultry.
-
Learning breathing exercises will assist you in moving more air into and out of your lungs.
-
Exercise on a regular basis to strengthen your breathing muscles and immune system.
-
Limit or avoid caffeinated beverages such as tea, coffee, soda, and energy drinks.
-
Quit smoking because it irritates the lungs and aggravates breathing problems.
Special Advise
-
If the cough persists for more than one week, consult your doctor.
Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough: Coughing is a body’s way of clearing irritants (allergens) from airways and preventing infection. The cough may be dry or productive. A tickly cough or dry cough produces no harsh or thick mucus, whereas a productive cough or 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.
