A dry cough is an irritating cough that is not accompanied by expectoration, and can have many causes. There are a number of ways to treat a dry cough in adults... Cough suppressants generally take the form of syrups, and sometimes tablets or chewing gum. They are indicated for irritative, dry coughs. By acting on the cough command center located in the bulb of the brain, they abolish the cough reflex. So, if used incorrectly, particularly in the case of wet coughs, they can be harmful and lead to bronchial congestion. The difficulty lies in identifying the right cough medicine (which generally comprises several active ingredients).
There are also natural cough remedies such as Essential Oil for dry coughs, and homeopathy for coughs.

A cough is a normal reaction to irritation of the respiratory tract, particularly the bronchial tubes, most often due to a respiratory infection or allergy. It removes secretions from the bronchial tubes, making breathing easier. Cough medicines should be used with caution.
Coughs are caused by irritation of the throat, trachea, bronchi or, sometimes, the ears. Coughing is a normal reaction to irritation of the respiratory tract. It removes secretions from the bronchi, making breathing easier. Oily coughs are useful coughs, as they clear the airways and contribute to healing. Many illnesses can trigger a cough: flu, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, respiratory allergies, heart problems in the elderly, etc.
Coughs can be grouped into two families: dry coughs, without mucus production, and oily coughs, with mucus production. The latter are useful coughs, as they clear the respiratory tract. However, both dry and wet coughs can become exhausting, particularly when fits of coughing are triggered. When the cough is severe, it can cause throat irritation and insomnia when it's nocturnal.
When the cough is severe, it can cause throat irritation and insomnia at night. A cough that occurs as part of a common infection does not usually lead to other complications. Those that do arise are linked not to the cough itself, but to its cause, and vary from case to case.
Also known as irritative cough or non-productive cough. This cough is caused by irritation of the respiratory tract. It does not produce mucus. It is tiring, and often painful. It's " self-perpetuating ": the more you cough, the more you irritate your respiratory tract, which encourages more coughing, and so on...
An irritation cough is a dry cough caused by irritation of the respiratory tract: the more you cough, the more irritation increases, and the more you cough again. Irritation coughs are tiring and can cause chest pain when they last a long time. But this dry cough is not normally serious. Consult your doctor if it lasts more than a few weeks.

Medicines used to relieve dry coughs are known as antitussives. They reduce the cough reflex by acting on the cough centers in the brain. No cough medicine of this type should be used for more than a few days without medical advice. In the case of wet coughs, syrups containing bronchial fluidizers can be used. These are designed to reduce the viscosity of secretions and facilitate expectoration. Their use is rarely essential.
Cough suppressants fall into several categories: opioid cough suppressants, antihistamine cough suppressants and non-opioid, non-antihistamine cough suppressants. Some of these drugs combine a cough suppressant with a bronchial thinner. However, this is not a logical combination.
Opiate cough suppressants used in adults may contain the following substances: codeine, dextrometorphan, ethylmorphine (or codethyline), noscapine, pholcodine. They should not be used in cases of respiratory insufficiency or asthma-related cough. Their main side effects are constipation, nausea, dizziness and drowsiness, which can be troublesome when driving a car or operating machinery. Dextrometorphan does not cause respiratory depression at usual doses.
Antihistamine cough suppressants are recommended for dry, irritating coughs that occur at night, due to their sedative effect. They have so-called atropinic effects (dry mouth, constipation, urine blockage, visual disturbances), which explain certain contraindications (angle-closure glaucoma, prostate adenoma). They should be used with caution by machine users, due to the risk of drowsiness.
