What are Numark Mucus Cough And Cold Relief All-In-One Tablets?
Numark Mucus Cough And Cold Relief All-In-One Tablets are a form of treatment that relieves symptoms associated with a cold and the flu, in particular, a mucus cough. These tablets contain three active ingredients that work to reduce symptoms. These active ingredients are:
- Paracetamol
- Phenylephrine
- Guaifenesin
Paracetamol is a painkiller that is abundant and is used in a wide range of treatments for pain and illness, including a fever. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that helps to reduce the swelling of the blood vessels in the nose that has caused a blocked nose. Guaifenesin is an expectorant, which loosens the excess mucus in the nose, chest, and throat that is caused by a cold or the flu.
What is the difference between a cold and the flu?
The difference between a cold and the flu is the fact that cold is less severe than the flu in terms of symptoms. The actual infections are quite similar as they both enter the body the same way, through the eyes, nose, or mouth, or through touching surfaces with germs on them. Both a cold can spread and are generally short-term illnesses. In term of types, there are only three types of flu; Type A, Type B, and Type C. Type A and B are the illnesses that get spread annually and Type C is a less severe form of flu. As for a cold, there are many different types that are all slightly different, which is why there is no cold cure.
