Thanks Lucia. For the technical term, which I didn't have time to enter yesterday, I would go with 'cough expectorant'. (There are two types of cough medicine: "cough expectorant" and "cough supressant.")

Note from asker:
| I consider this translation the most plain what I like. However, the throat is not the only area where mucus expectoration is desired. E.g., the tea may be effective during sinus infections or bronchitis. I would like to keep this generality. This is clearly said by all the above translaition but can anybody think of something more plain? |
