Get a quick rest if you have a dry cough

When the acute symptoms of a cold are over, one hopes to have gotten over it. The runny nose becomes dry again and when you cough you no longer produce mucus. Nevertheless, the coughing continues and becomes excruciating. It irritates the sensitive mucous membranes in the bronchi until they become inflamed. A vicious cycle of irritation and coughing follows, which is exhausting during the day and leaves you unable to rest, especially at night.

Quiet the urge to cough – give peace of mind

The stimulus to cough originates in the airways and is actually a life-sustaining reflex. It eliminates any disruptive matter in the trachea and bronchi – whether it's something that has been swallowed incorrectly or mucus that has to be evacuated from the lungs, laden with bacteria. The stimulus is processed at a very specific point in the brain, the cough center. From a certain intensity of the stimulus, this part of the brain triggers the coughing impulse. In the context of a cold, this happens at the slightest stimulus. This leads to constant coughing, although it is actually not necessary. Dextromethorphan, the world's best-researched cough-suppressing active ingredient in Silomat® DMP lemon-flavoured lozenges, reduces the perception of the urge to cough. In this way, the mucous membranes in the bronchi can recover and the patient can find peace again.

Coughing is not always the same

Coughing is used to clear the airways. If mucus is found, that's a good sign. Because the mucus contains harmful bacteria, which the body rids itself of in this way. Such a cough should not be suppressed. Unlike the dry cough, where no sputum is found. This puts unnecessary strain on the airways.

A few tips against a dry cough

As long as you have a dry cough, you should avoid drinking alcohol. It also dries out the mucous membranes in the throat, which intensifies the irritation. Dry heating air has the same effect - therefore humidifiers or inhalations can have a soothing effect.
