Cough With Phlegm
Symptoms
- Persistent cough with phlegm
- Increased production of phlegm
Causes
Respiratory tract infection
Risk Factors

Treatment
To relieve persistent cough with phlegm, facilitating expectoration is important. When the phlegm produced is especially viscous, it needs to be fluidified.
For this purpose, mucolytic active ingredients like N-acetylcysteine, contained in Fluimucil, are needed to break the protein links of the mucus.
