How do I know if I’ve got a cold?

Colds are common illnesses which usually aren’t serious and will pass within a week or two. If you think you may have a cold, there are some common side effects that you can look out for:

  • Sneezes
  • Coughs
  • Sore throat
  • Blocked nose
  • High temperature
  • Headaches
  • Pressure in the face and head
  • Muscular aches and pains
  • Fatigue or tiredness

 

How will Lemsip Max All in One sachets help to ease my cold and flu?

Lemsip Max All in One sachets contain three active ingredients which all work to ease different cold and flu symptoms. Paracetamol is a popular, everyday painkiller which can help to ease headaches, the pain from a sore throat, or general muscular aches and pains. Paracetamol can also help to bring down a fever. Guaifenesin helps to loosen phlegm, making it easier to move, this eases your chesty cough and makes it easier to breathe. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which reduces the swelling in your nasal passages, easing your blocked nose, making it easier to breathe and reducing pressure in your head and face.

You should not take Lemsip Max All in One if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have a cold or the flu at this time, speak to your doctor or pharmacist so they can recommend a suitable treatment for you. This product should not be used by women with a history of pre-eclampsia.
