This cough medicine was another of my purchases aimed to fight the forthcoming winter bugs. I'd been waking up with a sore throat which then turned into an annoying dry cough later in the day, so I've been taking this cough medicine before bed to help me sleep, and every now and then when I start coughing. The cough medicine is specially designed for dry, tickly coughs. The active ingredients which help to alleviate the symptoms are liquid glucose, purified honey and lemon juice. It also contains added menthol. By coating the back of the throat, it helps to relieve sore throats and irritating dry coughs. Due to the high sugar content, anyone with diabetes ...  Read the complete review

I tend to get a cold once or twice a year and usually get quite a cough with it. this is usually a chesty cough but, most recently, it was more of a dry, tickly cough.

Veno's is made by GloxoSmithKline and is part of the Beechams range. The bottle I have is 100ml and costs a mere £1.78 on Amazon, and is available from most chemists and supermarkets. I always buy the smaller bottle as I use ...  Read the complete review

I work as a session singer, this means people pay me to feature on a recording of a song they wrote or simply a song they want to play on as a musician and they need a lead singer. There is nothing worse for a singer than that feeling of a ever so slight tickle in the back of your throat. I know what's coming when I feel that tickle, an annoying itchy cough that results in a hundred takes of a song that otherwise would have only taken a few minutes to record. And in the scenario that tickle turns in to a chesty cough and more times than not, seeing I'm asthmatic, bronchitis comes a knock-in. And when that happens that means no work for me and also it can mean me missing .  Read the complete review
