But not everyone can get them and it's the old thing, you never think it will happen to you.

Agree with the menthol crystals and vicks do a menthol stick that you can inhale

Covonia, they have a chesty cough mix which is a miracle worker. They also do menthol lozenges which are quite powerful.

On a side note, plenty of fluid preferably warm or hot to keep everything loose and easier to cough. I feel for you, took me a good 3 weeks to get rid of mine.

Hot water, lemon, honey and ginger that's what I have been drinking and works a treat and steaming with vicks is good too.

flu injection is only for the elderly or if you have a heart condition, chest problems, diabetes etc and only then if the doc allows , you can get it in local chemist at a cost

All the doctors in our area are hopeless. One of their newest excuses is 'We can't refer you because the NHS has no funds.'

from a town near you

try the menthol crystals in a bowl of hot water, they realy work,but be careful you only need a small pinch otherwise you will blow your head off

hope your better soon

Steam inhalations with menthol, an oldie but a goody. Even a jug of it by your bedside at night helps.

Covonia for chesty coughs, tastes yuk but add it to warm water and drink it like that, does help.

I would go back to your docs, as it could well have turned into a chest infection...and they do give out antibiotics for that I think.

Did they sound your chest, maybe second visit if it doesn't improve or worsens.
