Question 2

How will Benylin infants cough syrup help my child?

Accepted Answer

Reach for Benylin Infants Cough Syrup when your child is suffering with a dry, tickly cough, especially one that disrupts their sleep or causes discomfort. This syrup is particularly helpful for coughs that are not accompanied by mucus or phlegm.

This delicious tasting, soothing cough syrup helps by creating a protective layer over your child's throat's delicate lining, reducing the urge to cough and alleviating the scratchy sensation.

When your child isn't bothered by a persistent dry and tickly cough, they can get some rest and recover.

Question 3

What is a dry and tickly cough?

Accepted Answer

Unlike chesty and mucus coughs, a dry and tickly cough, also known as a non-productive cough, is a common symptom that can be caused by a variety of factors. It's characterised by a persistent urge to cough without bringing up any phlegm or mucus.

The most common causes of a dry and tickly cough are viral infections, allergies, post nasal drip, asthma, environmental irritants, and medication side effects.

If you have a persistent dry and tickly cough that lasts for more than a week, or is accompanied by other symptoms like fever, shortness of breath, or chest pain, it's important you see a doctor to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
