Even though most people rely on antibiotics when they suffer from an upper or lower respiratory tract infection, overuse of antibiotics can weaken the immunity and lead to antibiotic resistance.
Moreover, one of the most common remedies for respiratory infections, i.e. cough syrup, can provide immediate relief from the symptoms; however, it cannot treat the illness and when taken in excessive amounts, it may lead to unpleasant side effects. Some of them include drowsiness, itching, swelling, rashes, difficulty breathing, and nausea.
