All medications for cough in a patient under 2 years of age must be prescribed by a doctor. These medications may be used to help cough up mucus.
List
- Allowed from 12 months:
- elixir Bronchicum TP (contains thyme and primrose);
- Stoptussin Phyto (thyme and plantain);
- powder and effervescent tablets Acetylcysteine (with caution);
- Fluimucil oral solution, granules and effervescent tablets (for children under one year of age - with caution);

- Herbion primrose syrup;

- Codelac broncho elixir with thyme.
Fluimucil
You can use granules to make a water-based solution. The required amount of product is determined depending on age according to the attached instructions.
The drug is based on acetylcysteine. It not only removes phlegm, but also has protective antioxidant properties. It is indicated for any conditions with difficulty coughing, as well as for otitis media, sinusitis (sinusitis). Side effects are rare - digestive disorders, allergic reactions, nosebleeds. Fluimucil is contraindicated in cases of acetylcysteine intolerance and in case of exacerbation of gastric ulcer.

This medicine has the same effects as Fluimucil. It is prescribed to children 2 years old, 5 ml twice a day; at older ages, the dosage is increased.
Types of tablets
The choice of inexpensive and effective tablets is determined depending on the nature and nature of the cough. They come in several types:
- Bronchodilators - help relax smooth muscles and relieve spasms. This leads to the elimination of a cough attack. Prescribed for bronchitis and diseases that cause spasm of the respiratory tract.
- Mucolytics are the main agents in the treatment of wet cough. They dilute the viscous thick mucus of the bronchial glands to facilitate its passage.
- Opioids inhibit the cough reflex at the central level. The threshold of irritability in the cough center of the brain increases, and coughing is blocked. Their disadvantage is that they depress the entire nervous system and can be addictive.
- Non-opioid antitussives (butamirate) suppress cough without affecting the central nervous system.
- Combined - work in several directions, solving several problems at once.

List
- Coldrex broncho syrup;
- Amtersol syrup;
- Doctor Mom syrup;
- Bronchobos syrup 2.5% (!) (5% syrup can be used from 15 years of age).
Amtersol
This is an inexpensive product based on several components: ammonium chloride, sodium benzoate, potassium bromide, licorice and thermopsis. It has not only an expectorant, but also an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect.
Amtersol is used for coughs with difficult to separate sputum. For a 3-year-old patient, it is enough to give half a teaspoon of the product 3 times a day. It is contraindicated in case of individual intolerance, as well as in case of exacerbation of gastric ulcer. The only side effects reported were allergic reactions.
What cough medicines are there?
Among the wide variety of antitussives, there are three main groups that affect different parts of the pathogenesis of this symptom:
- Medicines that suppress cough at the brain level. They have an inhibitory effect on the cough center located in the medulla oblongata. Thanks to their influence, cough is suppressed completely or partially.
- Drugs that work at the level of bronchial smooth muscle. They lead to relaxation of the bronchi, making sputum easier to clear and the disease stopping.
- Agents that affect sputum itself. These drugs help liquefy it and help it leave the bronchi.
Drugs that have the ability to stop coughing are divided into central and peripheral agents. There are combination drugs that not only block it, but also have additional effects, for example, an expectorant.
Antitussives of central and peripheral action
The cough center is located in the medulla oblongata. Medicines in this group suppress symptoms by affecting specific areas of the brain. The main representatives of this group are morphine derivatives - codeine, etc. The main requirement for these drugs is that when suppressing cough, the respiratory center, which is located nearby, is not affected.
Different drugs are designed to solve specific problems
Peripheral antitussive medicine (Libexin) acts on the muscles of the bronchi, larynx and trachea, and suppresses the nerve impulses that the mucous membrane of these organs sends to the brain. Without receiving “cough impulses” from the periphery, the brain does not activate the cough center and the cough stops.
Expectorants and mucolytics
Expectorants, on the contrary, stimulate the muscles of the bronchi. This leads to increased mucus removal and restoration of the inflamed mucosa. There are many plant-based drugs in this group (thermopsis, marshmallow, licorice, oregano, etc.), as well as their synthetic analogues.
Mucolytics help with viscous, stagnant sputum, thinning thick mucus and removing it from the bronchi. This group of drugs includes ACC, Bromhexine and some enzymes.
In addition to the above groups of drugs, many combination drugs have been developed that combine several effects at once, for example, Stoptussin, Broncholitin, etc.
Cough medicines from 5 – 6 years old

A 5-year-old patient is prescribed half a tablet 2 times a day. The drug is well tolerated, only occasionally causing indigestion, dry nose, headache or an allergic reaction. Contraindications – individual intolerance to ambroxol, peptic ulcer of the stomach and intestines, severe liver failure.

Cough medicines for children over 3 years old
A child’s cough has always been and remains a cause for concern for every parent. But a cough is simply a protective unconditional reaction of the body to any type of irritant, due to which the airways are cleared of this irritant, be it dust, accumulated secretions, or a foreign body, which often happens in young children. But if a child simply choked and coughed, this is one thing, but if this condition is a sign of a respiratory disease, then the parents begin to panic and pour the entire arsenal of antitussives from the home medicine cabinet into the child. Naturally, sooner or later you have to wonder what effective remedy to use for a child’s cough?
Cough medications from 12 years of age
In patients of this age, you can use any of the remedies listed above, as well as the following.

Side effects: dry nasopharynx, runny nose, skin reactions (rash, swelling), in rare cases, constipation or loose stool. Bronchorus is contraindicated in case of individual intolerance to ambroxol and in the 1st trimester of pregnancy.
Tablets for the treatment of wet cough
In such a situation, doctors often prescribe medications whose action is aimed at removing mucus from the respiratory tract. These drugs are usually mucolytics and expectorants, as well as combination agents.
