Coughs Decoded: Croup, Chest, or Just a Cold?

A pharmacist mum's guide to telling coughs apart — and knowing exactly which one needs a doctor.

Written by a pharmacist and mum of three, this digital guide helps you decode the sound of a cough — barking, chesty, dry, or something more serious — so you know whether it's a "wait and watch" or a "get help now."

Inside you'll find:

• How to tell croup, chest, and dry coughs apart by sound
• A clear home-care checklist for mild-to-moderate coughs
• The specific red flags that mean it's time to call a doctor or go to A&E
• What actually helps (and why most cough syrups don't)
• Common mistakes parents make — and how to avoid them
• A printable quick-reference card you can screenshot or print
