Topical Cough Suppressants—Lozenges
Suffering from a dry, nasty cough? Not only can it keep you up at night and distract you during the day, but it's likely spreading your germs to others. Lozenges, which dissolve in your mouth, can help temporarily soothe and control a cough. Also see cough suppressants. If you feel you need to clear your chest and cough up mucus, look into expectorants.
