Ms Baker said: “Pharmacies provide many over the counter products that can help with all-round cough, cold and flu relief.
“For a fever, pharmacists may simply recommend paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin to reduce temperatures and alleviate aches and pains, which can all be symptoms of the common cold.
“As a ‘first line’ therapy for sore throats, paracetamol is shown to provide rapid and effective relief.
