Respiratory diseases are one of the most common diseases. In acute diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract and lungs, but also in chronic progressive diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, cough is one of the leading symptoms. The clinical characteristics of cough focus mainly on its time limit - acute (duration up to three weeks), subacute (three to eight weeks) and chronic (duration more than eight weeks).

Furthermore, the doctor informs whether the cough is dry, irritating, or rather moist with coughing, when it occurs during the day, what causes it (food, exposure to cold, physical exertion) and to what extent it affects the patient's quality of life. Cough is not a disease, cough is a symptom, and therefore its occurrence must be approached and treated not only cough, but especially the cause that causes it. In many cases, this will help speed up treatment. Our pharmacist will advise you on the optimal product to supplement your treatment.
