For example, coughing associated with a child's common cold can persist for two weeks or even longer(1).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA child coughs when their body is trying to clear unwanted matter like mucus (also known as phlegm or sputum) from their airways. This type of cough is sometimes described as being 'wet' or 'productive', and can result in mucus being coughed up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn some instances, coughing may also be a response to inflammation or irritation of the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract. These types of coughs usually don't involve the clearing of mucus, so are often called dry' or 'unproductive' coughs. They may be associated with bursts of coughing that occur in spasms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChinese licorice:\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese licorice is included in Oriental Botanicals' Kids' Cough Fighter because it's traditionally used to reduce children's coughs in Chinese medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis herb has a naturally sweet taste, which teams with the naturally derived blackcurrant flavour in Kids' Cough Fighter to create a great-tasting cough mix that's easy to administer to your child when mixed with water or juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIvy leaf relieves kids' coughs:\u003cbr\u003e\nIvy leaf soothes children's coughs.
