Cough medicine - Chingaiyaku (English spelling)

Japanese: 鎮咳薬 - ちんがいやく(英語表記)cough medicine
Cough medicine - Chingaiyaku (English spelling)
Drugs that suppress coughs. Coughs can be caused by an attempt to expel foreign objects or excess secretions from the airways, or by dryness, inflammation, or ulcers in the airway mucosa. The nature and method of use of cough suppressants vary slightly depending on the cause. If the former is more severe, mild expectorants can be used to make phlegm easier to come out, or chemotherapy drugs can be used to expel phlegm. For the latter, antihistamines, sedatives, bronchodilators, non-narcotic cough suppressants, etc. are used, taking into consideration local and systemic rest, and if these drugs are ineffective, steroids or narcotic drugs are used.
