Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expectorants improve the ability to cough up mucus by thinning and loosening the mucus, making it easier to expel from the respiratory system. Bronchodilators are used to relax the muscles in the airways to make breathing easier. Antitussives are used to suppress coughing. Antihistamines are used to relieve symptoms of allergies, but do not affect mucus production or the ability to cough up mucus.
