Does Bromfed DM Syrup Help With The Cough And And Pain In Chest?
I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis two years ago. I have a cough at the moment that is very deep in my lungs and I've been coughing so frequently, my sternum and chest is starting to hurt. I was wondering if the medication Bromfed DM Syrup is any benefit to take? I've already tried Mucinex, Robitussin, and the Dayquil/Nyquil combo.

Hello
Your concerns about this situation is wright.
Syrups in general are mucolitics medication only.They can relatively help only in cough with secretions.
Acute bronchitis was 2 years ago.This situation might be from a viral situation and i do not thing that Bromfed DM Syrup will help you a lot.
If cough last for more than 1 week with fever better to do a chest X ray.If not you can take paracetamol a lot of liquids ,some rest and to wait.
Thank you
