TIRED of that stubborn cough?

If you have a cough it’s important to know whether you have an infection so that you can treat the infection as well as the cough.

If you have a cough that comes alongside a cold or a flu the chances are you have an infection. When the mucus or phlegm is green or yellow it’s a sign that there is infection. Take A. Vogel Echinacea alongside your cough remedy to help deal with the infection.

A cough can linger long after cold or flu symptoms have passed, leaving you with either a dry irritating cough or a chesty one.

If there’s catarrh or excess mucus the cough is commonly known as a chesty or a productive cough. You can experience bouts of coughing in an attempt to expel the mucus. A.Vogel Bronchofor­ce is a herbal tincture that can help to alleviate a chesty cough by helping to expel phlegm.

Choose A.Vogel Ivy Thyme for young children with chesty coughs, it’s suitable from age two. Irish Botanica Botanical Syrup is another option for stubborn chesty or dry coughs and is suitable from age 3.

You may have a dry, tickly, and irritating cough that produces no mucus, a non-productive cough. The excessive coughing can cause a sore throat.

It works well alongside A.Vogel Cough Spray which is ideal to have in your pocket or bag for times when you would be embarrasse­d to cough like when at chuch or at a play. Irish Botanica Botanical Syrup can also be used for dry coughs.
