What is a dry cough?

A dry cough, non-productive cough or non-productive cough is a cough that does not produce mucus in the throat or phlegm. It is the body's response to inflammation or irritation of the airways, so coughing is a defence mechanism to keep the airways clear.

Remedies for dry coughs

It all depends on what's causing your cough to choose the right treatment, but in general there are always dry cough remedies that work to relieve and treat it. The best option is usually dry cough medicines such as antihistamines, antitussives or cough suppressants in various forms such as dry cough syrup, cough drops or cough drops.

In our online pharmacy you can browse through a wide range of dry cough remedies on offer and at the best price.

Dry cough causes

The most common causes of dry cough or non-productive cough are:

• Viral infection. Dry coughs appear as a result of a cold, flu or other virus.
• Allergy. Allergies to dust, pollen, allergic rhinitis or other types of allergies can cause an allergic cough.
• Reaction to medication. Some medications can cause coughing as a side effect, although this does not always have to be the case.
• Gastro-oesophageal reflux. Acid reflux may cause irritation in the airways and lead to a non-productive cough.
• Environmental factors. Tobacco smoke, air pollution or chemicals may cause irritation or inflammation in the airways and therefore a dry cough.
• Airway obstruction. This can be caused by a disease such as asthma or by food or objects that may be blocked in the airways, among other reasons.
