JACKSON’S expectorant extra strength all fours 100mg/5ml 200ml

Coughs are usually caused by phlegm and pollutants such as smoke or dust. Usually, coughs are short-term and seldom a sign of anything sinister. With a chesty cough, your body produces mucus which you cough up. Some of the main causes of temporary chesty coughs include:

An upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), like the flu or common cold, that involves your windpipe, throat or sinuses.

Worsening of a chronic illness like asthma.

Allergies like hay fever.

Generally, you don't have to visit your doctor unless you experience the below symptoms:

Your cough has been going on for over three weeks.

Your cough is severe.

You are coughing up blood.

You are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath or problems breathing.

Unexplained weight loss.

Ongoing changes in your voice.

Swellings or bumps in your neck.

This cough mixture contains guaifenesin which belongs to a group of drugs called expectorants and helps loosen mucus in your chest. You can use it to soothe symptoms of chesty coughing, catarrh and a stuffy nose without experiencing drowsiness.

It works by loosening and thinning phlegm (mucus), so you can cough it out more comfortably.
