Review of the pediatrician

Despite the fact that most of the children's population is vaccinated against whooping cough according to the National Calendar, the cases of this infection are registered year after year. And not as rare as it would be desirable. It is with pertussis that I prescribe to my patients the preparation Panathus, usually in syrup, to fight the attacks of a harsh dry cough. I want to note the effectiveness of this drug: usually on the second-third day of treatment the patients feel better, the frequency of attacks decreases. Children tolerate therapy with Panathus well, I did not notice any side effects.
