Why do we cough n why arent there ne cough tablets why only cough syrups are ava!
Question: There are many reasons for cough, usually it is to relieve irritation in the airway. The irritation can be from smoke, or food, or liquid, or phlegm, or dust, or pollen, or just about anything that you can breathe in.
And cough tablets, I assume you mean medicated ones and not cough lozenges? There are cough tablets, such as Tesselon Pearls, but they are prescription-only. Sorry.

Cough tablets--throat lozenges--do exist. Cough syrups coat the entire throat quickly though, so they can be effective.
