Brief Summary   This is a multicenter, double blind; two arm randomized, parallel group clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a polyherbal formulation Dabur Honitus versus Standard Allopathic Formulation for symptomatic relief of acute non productive cough and throat irritation. The study will be conducted across 3 centers in India. Approximately 110 subjects will be enrolled, 55 receiving the study drug and 55 receiving the reference comparator drug. Males and females between 18-65 years with acute non productive cough and throat irritation of less than 1 week duration and meeting the selection criteria will be enrolled. Screening/baseline procedures will include medical history, physical examination and vital signs. Assessment for clinical signs and symptoms, vitals and Adverse Events will be done at every follow up visit on Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4 post treatment. Response to treatment will be measured by change in frequency of cough and throat irritation from the baseline value to end of 3day treatment in both the treatment arms.
