What cough medicines or home remedies work best in Thailand pharmacies?

Thailand drugs are very mild to say the least

Hmmm... If you have had the flu etc recently, you will WANT to cough to clear your throat. You need an expectorant that will suppress your cough for a short while, but then makes your coughs "more productive" when you DO cough. I have a cough for 1 to 2 weeks after a strong flu.

Ask for "brown mixture" at the pharmacy. That's the name that was printed on the label the last time I got it. Sip as needed was the directions! 🤣

It cleared up my chest congestion and cough like magic! Tasted not so good...but it only took a couple of doses to knock it out.

There are increasing levels of air pollution over much of Thailand right now. Get an air filter and run it in your home. Limit time outside and see if it improves.

Try this mouth spray I just bought, it works for me otc. Propoliz mouth spray sugar, saccharin and prescriptive free. It's all herbal.

If you’re near a hospital like Bangkok Hospital, or Bumrungrad; they have an International medicine office for non Thai citizens. I did it; was great; doctors/staff excellent and VERY reasonable charge. I had a bad cough like that last year and was diagnosed bronchitis. The Thai doctor at Bangkok Hospital saw signs of that infection on my chest X-ray he took. I was given anti virals & an antibiotic for secondary infection. Plus a cough suppressant that worked amazingly but unfortunately I don’t recall the name. But see a doctor vs a pharmacist. Good luck because yes, it’s awful😨

Maybe try the old methords garlic honey tumeric onion concoctions

I've got the same thing.

A cold that is now turning into bronchitis. Took lots of meds and it kept worsening. 1 week already and it's now a constant tickle in the throat which triggers relentless coughing.

If it's a wet cough like mine, drink lots of warm fluids (ginger, lemon, honey). Vaporize with steam. If it's nasal congestion, flush your nasal passage with a salt solution (I add a little sage and lemon). This is working better than all those meds that I took for 5 days! Cough syrup didnt help much. Even used codipront which is a strong cough suppressant. It's impossible to sleep too.

It looks awful but it doesn’t taste too bad and it works!

D-coate

If it’s a productive cough, don’t suppress it.

If dry hacking cough, many pharmacies carry dextromethorphan, which works, but read up on it.

Boil some fresh ginger. Lemon and honey. Better than any pharmacy👍

Andrographolide may be worth a shot 22/

Pattaya Cough... also try getting your ac cleaned.

Jagermeister! Helps with bad coughs for sure and tastes horrible but it works!!

No

Hot Toddy, lemon, cloves, honey, hot water, double whisky. I swear by it….

Grate the ginger and mix it with honey

Doctors always give / prescribe antibiotics as they can make more money on them, try honey & lemon juice in some hot (warm water) especially if it’s a tickly cough, it should help and cost you a lot less money.

What’s the clause of your cough? If antibiotics didn’t work it’s probably viral.
