What causes a harsh cough and sore throat?

A raw throat and a heavy chest strike when bugs, viruses or bacteria, invade your airways. They breed in your throat or push deep down into your lungs. The tissue swells and burns. Your body fights back by coughing to throw the bugs out. This fight leaves your airways raw, making it hard to breathe and near impossible to sleep.

While some bugs hit children hard, anyone can catch a throat or chest infection at any age.

Symptoms of coughs and chest infections

The signs hit hard and fast, though they shift depending on where the bug sets up camp. Common signs include a dry, barking hack, a sharp pain every time you swallow, or a deep, rattling cough that brings up thick phlegm. You might also fight a hot fever or feel a heavy weight sitting on your chest.

Sometimes a simple cough turns dangerous. If you fight for breath, if your chest locks up wholly, or if you cough up blood, do not wait on us. You must seek urgent medical help straight away.

What triggers the attack?

Most times, you catch a bug from someone else. A simple head cold drips down into your chest and takes hold. Bacteria can also sweep in and breed in the raw, weakened skin of your throat. Other daily things make the coughing fit worse, like cold winter air, thick smoke, or breathing in heavy dust.

Taking control and clearing your chest

Most simple colds clear out on their own with rest and deep glasses of water. But when a deep chest infection or a harsh bacterial throat bug digs in, you need the right tools to break it and get your life back.

We step in with targeted treatments to match your exact symptoms:

  • To kill the bug: If bacteria cause the fight, we supply strong, prescription antibiotics that hunt the bug down and wipe it out.
  • To break the pain: We offer treatments that coat your raw throat, thin out the thick phlegm so you can cough it up easily, and quiet the dry, hacking cough so your body can finally sleep and heal.

*Subject to pharmacist approval.

To start treatment, you’ll complete a short online consultation so our pharmacists can understand your needs. A pharmacist will review your answers and confirm if treatment is suitable.

If approved, you can request ongoing supplies through follow-up online check-ins. We review each request to make sure the medicine remains safe and appropriate for you.

What is the online clinic?

The online clinic lets you request prescription treatments through a secure online consultation. A clinician reviews your information and decides if treatment is suitable.

How does the online consultation work?

You complete a short questionnaire about your health, symptoms, and any medicines you take. There’s no live appointment. A clinician reviews your answers and follows up if needed.

Do I need to speak to someone on a call or video?

No. The service is asynchronous, meaning your consultation is reviewed without a live call. This lets you complete it at a time that suits you.

Who reviews my consultation?

Your consultation is reviewed by a qualified pharmacist following clinical guidelines.

How long does it take to get a decision?

Review times can vary. You’ll be contacted if more information is needed or once a decision has been made.

Will I always receive treatment?

No. Treatment is only supplied if it’s safe and appropriate. If it’s not suitable, you’ll be advised on next steps.

How do I receive my treatment?

If approved, your prescription treatment will be delivered to your address in discreet packaging.
