Camphor and menthol are commonly used topical cough medicines. These natural, aromatic cough medicines are rubbed on the throat and the chest. The anesthetic action of their vapors is thought to ease coughing and soothe stuffiness from a cold. Camphor and menthol cough medicines are also available for steam inhalation. Menthol is available in lozenges and in compressed tablets.
