Not all coughs are the same. Some are dry and irritating, while others are accompanied by mucus. Some seem manageable during the day but become more noticeable at night when you’re trying to sleep.
Understanding the type of cough you’re experiencing can help you find the support that best fits your needs. That’s why Boiron offers a range of Chestal medicines designed to address different cough concerns throughout the day and night.
Use this guide to compare Chestal options by cough type, age, and form so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
Understanding Common Types of Coughs
Dry Coughs
Dry coughs are often characterized by a tickling or irritating sensation in the throat. These coughs typically do not produce mucus and may feel worse when talking, laughing, or lying down.
Productive Coughs
A productive cough (or a wet cough) helps clear mucus from the airways. While coughing up mucus can be unpleasant, it serves an important purpose by helping the body remove excess secretions.
