Bromhexine is just a Cough expectorant. It doesn't treat Corona. It can not distinguish between the cough caused by Corona or any other infection. It can't protect lungs from Covid 19 virus.

Yes, that syrup is effective for cough. It's not for protecting lungs, it's a mucolytic syrup that's means, It thins and loosens the mucus in the airway and makes it easier to cough out.
