No, Benylin Children's Dry Cough and Sore Throat Syrup is not intended for chesty or mucus coughs. It is specifically designed to relieve dry, tickly coughs and sore throats caused by irritation or inflammation in the upper airways.

Chesty or mucus coughs, also known as productive coughs, are caused by excess mucus production in the lower airways. These coughs usually require different treatment approaches, such as expectorants or mucolytics, which help to thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to cough up.
