Hi ,

Oh mucous can be real issue can’t it ?

I steer clear of cough remedies from the pharmacy because many of them suppress the cough making an infection more likely.

When mucous becomes sticky then I drink more water to thin it out, especially in the warmer weather.

Also use mucous clearing methods given to me by the respiratory team. Eg huff method and so on.

The helpline can probably advise on these for you.

Hope you find relief soon.

Go well

Pauline

Hi devon29 thank you for sharing the info for mucus clearance. You like myself realised its whats in the bottle not just the trade name that counts . Some are cough suppressants and some are expectorants. The chemist was very good to know that as some assistants don't always know what they are selling, but times are changing. My great granddaughter is going on a training course to become a pharmacist which means she has to learn all about the drugs the chemist sells and dispenses.

Not what you're looking for?
