Abstract
Peter, a 45 year old male, enters the pharmacy and asks, 'do you have something to stop a cough?'
On questioning you find out that Peter has an irritating cough that has been off and on for the past few weeks since winter started. He coughs up phlegm every now and then, mostly upon waking. He has tried some cough mixture that he bought at the supermarket but is looking for something stronger. He states that he does not have any medical history or allergies and does not take any medication. He does feel that he can't exercise as much as he used to as he gets more breathless these days.
