What if you’ve got a mucus cough?
Dr Thornber said:
There’s little evidence
to show chesty cough medicines work,
but your pharmacist
is ideally placed
to chat about your symptoms
and they can also advise
on decongestant treatments to help.
A good tip
is to drink lots of water
to loosen the mucus,
which makes it easier to cough up.
Also, use a humidifier
or inhale steam
from a bowl
to help clear the chest.
Painkillers
can also bring down a fever
and ease any associated headaches.
