Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup Information

  • What is Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup?

    Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup is a potent remedy for chesty coughs in little ones, containing ingredients such as - glycerol and liquid sugar - designed to tackle a range of cough symptoms.

    Administering Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup can mitigate symptoms, soothing the discomfort brought about by chesty coughs in infants.

    This remedy is suitable for infants aged 3 months and over, and can be used for up to 5 days. It is most effective when single-ingredient treatments like glycerol alone fail to provide adequate relief.

    How does Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup work?

    Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup is formulated with two active ingredients: glycerol and liquid sugar. Glycerol acts as a demulcent, forming a soothing film over the irritated throat tissue. Liquid sugar works as a mild antitussive, helping to soothe the cough reflex.

    When you administer Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup, it offers relief from chesty cough symptoms, easing discomfort, reducing the urge to cough, and alleviating the irritation in your little one's throat.

    How quickly does Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup work?

    When Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup is administered as directed in the Patient Information Leaflet, most infants will experience significant relief from persistent chesty cough symptoms within 30 - 60 minutes. It's advised to continue administering the prescribed dosage for a maximum of five days, until the symptoms have subsided.

    Alternatives to Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup

    Millions throughout the UK face chesty coughs in infants, but the symptoms and severity can vary significantly. Therefore, it's vital to find a treatment that suits your little one.

    Many people can manage chesty cough symptoms with simple remedies like glycerol or over-the-counter cough treatments like Benylin Infants Chesty Cough Syrup, Nurofen for Children, or Calpol for enhanced relief.

    If you've tried over-the-counter solutions and they're not adequately reducing your infant's chesty cough symptoms, it would be sensible to consult your doctor or a pharmacist for further treatments.
