What cough medicines to take

[Dutts63]

Hi I have NAFLD and Cirrhosis but it's compensated, I have a chesty cough what cough medicines can I take

[AyrshireK]

Probably best to avoid cough medicines full stop. Some honey and lemon juice in hot water is a good alernative but if you're really chesty maybe you need to see doctor.

A pharmacist will be able to assist with 'safe' medicine guidance.

Dear Dutts63

This is a question that a health care professional is best placed to answer, as Ayrshire K suggests, a pharmacist can advise as to what is safe for you to take to help with your chesty cough.

Best wishes
