How it works
Expectus LS 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
Give the medicine with food along with a glass of water to avoid stomach upset in your child. Practice self-care tips such as giving plenty of fluids, avoiding dairy and caffeinated products, and ensuring your child takes enough rest. 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.
