Accumulated cough

2021-09-11 12:29:00
My father is 72 years old and is very vulnerable to cold and cough. He has developed accumulated cough(phlegm) ad he keeps clearing his throat which is chronic now. Can you please suggest some method to get rid of the deposited cough or any tests that could help in diagnosis of actual problem. Can mucinac 600 tablet help. Thanks a lot in advance
