Don't abuse cough syrups

Cough is one of the nature's gift given to us.
It not only draws attention towards the underlying problem but also helps clearing the secretions present in the airways which are not meant to remain inside that may happen if cough is suppressed.
At the same time proper precaution should be taken while coughing to prevent others from catching the disease particles which may possibly be there, "the cough manners".
Most of the time the treament should target the cause of the cough rather than treating the symptom only. However, there are certain conditions where your Pulmonologist (Chest physician) might prescribe a cough syrup for you especially if it is prolonged and dry.
