Non-drowsy, the original sugar-based linctus, and suitable from 1 year. 150ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a soothing linctus\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dry cough has no phlegm to shift, so an expectorant is the wrong tool. What helps is a demulcent: a thick, soothing liquid that lines the throat and calms the tickle for a while, which is exactly what glycerol does. It's the same principle as honey and lemon, in a measured, stable form that keeps in the cupboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to take\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdults and children over 12: two 5ml spoonfuls. Children over 1 year: one 5ml spoonful. Up to four times a day, for up to five days. Sip slowly and don't wash it down straight away, so it stays on the throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 5ml contains 1.7g of sugar, so allow for it with diabetes or choose the sugar-free version. Not for babies under 1. A cough that lasts more than three weeks, or comes with breathlessness, chest pain or blood, needs a GP.
