A cough is a sudden, forceful expulsion of air that helps clear any mucus or irritant in the throat or airways. If it happens more frequently, due to an underlying disease or an allergy, it can be bothersome. Restif Syrup helps to loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. This makes it easier for air to move in and out.
