<p>Expectorants stimulate mucus secretion in dry, irritated areas of the respiratory tract, promoting the removal of sputum. Mucolytics alter the structure of mucus, enhancing its flow out of the respiratory tract. Expectorants are used for conditions with dry coughs, while mucolytics are used for conditions like cystic fibrosis.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Decongestants work by reducing swelling in the airway lining, easing nasal congestion, but they can have side effects like increased heart rate and blood pressure. Anti-histamines block the effects of histamine released during allergic reactions, helping to relieve symptoms like airway swelling and sneezing, but they can cause sedation.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Oxygen toxicity can occur if over 60% oxygen is delivered for extended periods, potentially leading to irritation or collapse of alveoli. It's essential to handle oxygen cylinders safely, storing them away from heat sources and naked flames.</p> Signup and view all the answers
