Tired of that stubborn cough?

DO you have a stubborn cough that you just can’t shift? A stubborn chesty or dry cough can be so annoying.

I think because a cough is one of the symptoms of Covid we can be embarrassed to be heard coughing. I think we all imagine that we are being judged. But it’s the season for coughs and I find it interesting that nobody is looking for cough bottles this year.

If you’re certain that your cough is not a symptom of Covid here are some cough remedies that you could take a look at for you and your family.

Botanical Syrup by Irish Botanica, an Irish brand, is one or our staff ’s favourites. Simply because the feedback is amazing. Choose this remedy if you have a stubborn cough. It contains a mixture of herbs traditionally used to help treat a stubborn cough whether it’s chesty or dry.
