How to Manage a Cough for the Whole Family

Winter is fast approaching and for parents and caregivers that means one thing – the dreaded flu season. Having a sick child is hard enough. But when the whole family catches the bug, trying to follow guidelines for cough management and still meet each family member’s needs can be not only time-consuming but also costly.

That’s where Prospan comes in, offering time-tested, safe, and effective solutions for the whole family. Below we have put together some guidelines for cough management that will help you meet the needs of every generation.

Cough and cold medication for kids and babies

When it comes to babies and young children, safety is the number one priority, and you should always follow the advice provided by a healthcare provider. Although paediatric medications have been deemed safe for the age they are indicated for, that is not to say they are without potentially concerning side effects.

For example, a study looked at the prevalence of alcohol and other potentially harmful substances in paediatric medication. Of the 140 medications with available ingredients, 62,7% contained alcohol and nearly 50% contained at least one potentially harmful ingredient.

Luckily, there is a solution for parents looking for a safe and effective solution to helping their little ones recover from a cough – Prospan syrup. Having undergone over 65 years of research and development including 20 research publications, Prospan Syrup is a choice you can trust. Its alcohol-free formulation helps to relieve both coughs and inflammation without the nasty side effects. To round it off, Prospan tastes great, relieving parents of the trouble of convincing toddlers to take their medicine.

Soothing cough relief for adults

Between work, family responsibilities, and social commitments, adults don’t have time to be slowed down by a lingering cough, especially when the rest of the family is also down with a cough. The ideal solution? Prospan Effervescent Tablets, a cough treatment that provides fast, non-sedating relief on the go. For those rare moments where you can take a breath, Prospan Menthol Syrup is another ideal solution, offering the same cough relief while also delivering an extra layer of soothing menthol comfort.

In addition to adding a refreshing mint flavour, the menthol in Prospan Menthol supports the thinning of mucus while also soothing a sore throat. When you are on the go, Prospan Effervescent Tablets come in convenient individually wrapped packs of 10 that can easily fit into a bag, pocket, or wallet. These solutions offer on-the-go adults’ fast relief all in one place without interfering with their busy schedule. Finally, no one wants to deal with the grogginess that often comes with some cough medicines, especially when trying to meet deadlines, run errands, or manage a household. Prospan allows you to keep going without disruption, while its anti-inflammatory benefits work in the background to help your body recover.

Choosing the Right Cough Treatment for Your Family

Cough relief isn’t often a one-size-fits-all, but with the Prospan range it can be.

The Prospan range covers all this and more, providing the whole family with an anti-inflammatory cough medicine that gets the job done.

More than just soothing a cough, Prospan’s anti-inflammatory properties work to treat the inflammation causing the cough, ensuring faster recovery. Whether you’re looking for a safe option for your little one, a convenient solution for your kids, or an effective remedy for yourself, Prospan makes managing a cough simple for every generation.
