S1 Ep1548: As We Move from Autumn into Winter Time, What Actually Is a Cough and What Should We Do About It?

With maybe more and more people coughing now as we move through autumn into winter time, for this week’s regular check in with Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick from New Life Pharmacy in Glasgow it is all about having a cough and what to do about it.  Our Toby Davey began by asking Elizabeth about whether a cough is just a way of getting rid of phlegm and whether there are times when we should go and see our Doctor if we have a cough. Elizabeth then explained to Toby about cough bottles and their use during winter time when there seems to be more viruses around.You can find out more about coughs by visiting the following pages of the NHS website - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cough/To get in touch with Elizabeth email [email protected]  or for more information visit https://newlifepharmacy.co.uk.Image: Picture showing Elizabeth standing in her pharmacy, dressed in her white pharmacist coat and a colourful bandana around her neck, she's smiling.
