Which type of medication would most likely be prescribed for a dry, non -productive cough? antitusives, expectorants, vaccinations, or decongestants.
00:14
So we'll go through each of these groups of medications and see what they do.
00:19
So first of all, antitusives.
00:21
Antitusives suppress coughing.
00:24
So they just stop you coughing.
00:28
So this is a cough suppressant.
00:31
An expectorant also is used in coughs, but it has a slightly different mechanism.
00:41
An expectorant clears mucus.
00:44
So if you have a productive cough or you have a lot of congestion, an expectorant can help with that.
00:50
So it clears congestion.
00:56
A vaccination, so a vaccination is something that induces an immune response to prepare your body for facing that path in future...
