How it works
Altex Oral Drops is a combination of three medicines: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol, and Guaifenesin. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
Quick Tips

A teaspoon of honey may also help to ease out a cough reflex. Ask your child to gargle with warm salt water as it eases the expelling of mucus. Ensure your child takes enough rest.
