Buttercup Cough Syrup & Pastilles

Buttercup cough mixture is not suitable for use during your pregnancy or while you’re breastfeeding.

The syrup contains alcohol, which is not safe to have during pregnancy as it can risk long-term harm to your baby.

If you’re suffering from a cough or cold during your pregnancy we’d recommend asking your doctor or pharmacist to recommend a more suitable treatment for you.

Buttercup syrup is not known to interact with paracetamol, so you should be able to take both of them at the same time to ease your cold symptoms.

However, you should always speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medications at the same time, just to be sure that the combination is right for you.

Buttercup and Bronchostop are both herbal cough remedies, but there are some differences you should be aware of when choosing the right one for you.

Buttercup syrup is a traditionally used cough remedy which may also help to soothe a sore throat or cold symptoms.

On the other hand, Bronchostop syrup is a traditional remedy for coughs alone and isn’t thought to ease sore throats or cold symptoms.

Both remedies use different natural ingredients traditionally used to ease your symptoms, so the biggest consideration will be what you plan on using your medicine for.

If you’re unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist to help you choose the right product for you.

Bronchostop pastilles and syrup are both gluten-free and are not exposed to gluten at any part of the manufacturing process.

Codeine absolutely can have side effects, as most medications do, and these are on top of the potential addiction and withdrawal symptoms.

Lots of people won’t experience any side effects at all when taking codeine, and others may just see minor side effects, but others can experience symptoms that are more serious.

Some of the most common side effects of codeine include:

• Constipation
• Feeling sick or vomiting
• Feeling drowsy
• Dizziness
• Feeling confused
• Vertigo
• Dry mouth
• Headaches

The best treatment for treating a cough is dependent on the type of cough that you have. If you have a dry or tickly cough then the medication that you should use will be different than the one you should use for a chesty or mucus cough.

There are a couple of things you can do at home to help ease your dry cough, and they can be done at the same time as taking your cough syrup.

We recommend getting plenty of rest when you have a cough, as it’s often caused by a cold or the flu or another infection which all need some serious rest if you’re going to get over them as soon as possible.

You should also drink plenty of fluids, as this will help to keep the back of your poor irritated throat hydrated.

We’d also recommend trying a hot honey and lemon drink, which may help to soothe your throat and make that cough a little better.

If your toddler has a cough that’s making them grumpy, the best thing you can do for them is to make sure they get lots of rest and drink plenty of fluids.

If your little one is over a year old then a hot honey and lemon drink may also help them to feel a bit better, but make sure to check the temperature of the drink carefully and monitor any young children who are given hot drinks.

Dry cough medicines are available for children aged 3 months and over.

These cough medicines often contain an ingredient called glycerin or glycerol, which coats the back of the throat, soothing and lubricating the area and reducing your little one’s dry cough in the process.

Glycerin cough medicines are available from popular brands like Benylin, CalCough, and Tixylix, so you’ll be sure to find one that’s right for your child.

If you’re not sure which cough syrup will be suitable for your child for any reason, ask your doctor or pharmacist for some advice.

Depending on the treatment that you use, there will be different active ingredients that have different properties.

The main properties of sore throat treatments will either be a painkiller (known as an analgesic) or as an anaesthetic, which numbs the throat area.
