For babies, choosing a cough syrup, whether for a dry or a productive cough, requires extreme caution. Always consult a paediatrician for the correct diagnosis and appropriate medicine/dose.

For a simple dry cough and cold, Levosalbutamol or Terbutaline is usually not needed unless you have wheezing, asthma, or breathing difficulty. These medicines are bronchodilators meant for asthma-type cough, not routine viral colds. Since you already have Salbetol-LS syrup, it is mainly useful for a wet/productive cough with chest congestion and not for a dry cough. Consult your doctor for dry cough medication.

If your cough has not improved after 5 days of using Rexcof DX, it may need a different treatment. Visit a doctor for a proper check-up. They may advise a chest examination or prescribe another medicine. In the meantime, stay hydrated, sip warm water or herbal tea, avoid cold foods, and rest your voice.

If Otrivin and Rexcof are not helping, your cough and cold may be due to a viral or allergic infection. You can try taking a steam inhalation twice daily, drink plenty of warm fluids, and rest well. Avoid cold drinks, dust, and strong smells. Consult a doctor for a correct diagnosis and appropriate medicine/dose.

Rexcof DX Syrup can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset, especially if you have a sensitive stomach. The timing can vary depending on other medications you are taking, so it is best to follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions for safe and effective use.
