I loved the taste and smell ( by that time they no longer contained chloroform ! ) Or Army & Navy sweets and Jakeman’s Throat & Chest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on This Morning asked a GP what to do as she had the same symptoms, the GP suggested she asks her GP for a chest x-ray to see if there was any bacteria on phlegm ( you take a phlegm sample into the surgery in a container of sorts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still taste nice though. And I’ve always liked Imps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definately made a difference for a while when rubbed into the chest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
