About Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml
Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml belongs to a medication group called a combination of medication primarily used to treat dry cough. Additionally, Phensedyl T Syrup 100 ml is also used to treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing, hayfever, runny nose, throat irritation, or watery eyes. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn’t produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

In combination, both medicines provide relief in dry cough.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough: It is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
Allergies: It occurs when foreign elements known as allergens attacks and invade our body, thereby causing the release of histamines. This chemical messenger ‘histamines’ causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, itchy/watery nose, and throat, and watery eyes. Allergies generally occur due to chemicals, air pollution, pet danders, dust, pollen hairs, seasonal allergies like hay fever, etc.
