Then May began a coughing fit and was repeatedly forced to take drinks of water, even coughing into her glass, and was proffered a lozenge from her finance minister, Philip Hammond.

Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond hands a cough sweet to Prime Minister Theresa May after she suffered a coughing fit whilst addressing the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, October 4, 2017.
