Abstract
Challenges of cough pharmacotherapy in the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections in children are specific and determined by the nature of cough, its duration and so on. Herbal medicines (extract of plantain and thyme) are feasible for the treatment of cough not only in acute inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract but also in the period of recovery/rehabilitation. The combination of herbal medicines and special exercises improve the condition of children after acute respiratory viral infections.
