Last week I started to develop cough.
Up to now I still have cough, I'm not sure if this is covid related tho.
So this morning I decided to buy one cough syrup to at least mitigate the severity of the cough.
After I visited a drugstore and chose the cough syrup that i wanted.
I went back home, now I'm reading the instructions and precautions.
and the side effects
Here are some of the description.
When not to use this medicine?
If you are allergic to any ingredients in the product.
If you have narrow angle glaucoma, high blood pressure, severe heart disease,
history of stroke, porphyria, stomach ulcer, kidney disease.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
side effects:
sedation, dizziness, tinnitus, fatigue, ataxia, blurred vision.
palpitation, urinary tract dysfunction, dryness of mouth, swelling of face,
nausea and vomiting, tremor, agitation and many more...
I in take 2 teaspoon recommended for adults.
I observe and my cough is gone in few minutes. WOW.
But the side effects is so many as well WOW...! LOL
I should have bought Lagundi (natural herbal no chemical) cough syrup
instead. but I tried it once and my cough came back. so it's not effective.
anyways just sharing my experience to you.
Just be careful when buying cough syrup they have so many side effects.

Yeah this is called a quick fix for the cough but there's always a side effect. We are just lucky if the side effects don't get worse.
