Practical tips and pharmacy-recommended remedies to help you get through cold and flu season.
Spotting the signs early
Colds and flu share symptoms like a blocked nose, sore throat and fatigue, but flu tends to come on more suddenly and hit harder. Either way, early action helps.
Our top remedies
- Decongestant nasal sprays for fast relief from a blocked nose
- Hot lemon sachets to ease aches, fever and congestion together
- Vapour rubs to help you breathe more easily overnight
- Throat lozenges for a soothing, scratchy throat
When to see a pharmacist or GP
Most colds clear up within a week or two with rest, fluids and over-the-counter remedies. Speak to our pharmacist if symptoms last longer than 10 days, if you have a high fever that won't come down, or if you're in a higher-risk group.
