Summary

This study tested whether Reconyl, a mix of four Indonesian herbs, can safely ease acute cough better than a placebo. 144 adults with sudden cough took either Reconyl or a placebo three times daily for 7 days. Researchers measured changes in cough severity and quality of life, along with kidney and liver function.
