Chesty Cough

Some coughs start from a tickle catching in the back of your throat, however it’s common to also suffer from a chesty cough which forms in your lungs. Developing from the chest, a chesty cough is your bodies way of trying to clear the lungs of a build-up of green phlegm, which your body produces more of when ill. As it is a thick and sticky substance, phlegm helps to capture and trap dust and any other irritating particles, as well as stopping further illness and pathogens from entering your system when your body is already vulnerable.

Coughing helps to prevent a build-up of this green phlegm and is your bodies reflex reaction to help lift it. Although, try as we might, it sometimes feels like no matter what amount of coughing you do, it doesn’t help to clear this.

To calm a chesty cough and to clear your airways, you need a cough syrup that will break down the build-up of phlegm as well as work to clear your nasal passages so you can breathe easy, without that feeling of your cold weighing your chest down. Try our range of chesty cough medicines and phlegm cough syrups to break this down, so the next time you cough, you can feel the weight lifted from your chest.
