Interactions: Looks like a safe combination. I hope you can get some relief.

Question 3

have a sinus infection & was prescribed zithromax & guaifenesin w/codeine. can this cause constipation? i haven't really eaten but feel quite bloated.

Accepted Answer

After days: Usually only after several days of therapy will the opioid codeine contribute to constipation. If you've been on it for days, it may be the codeine. If you just recently started this regimen, I might suspect something else (diet, lack of hydration or movement).

Accepted Answer

If : If after 2 weeks without any other symptoms you have not improved, you may want to look into other reasons for your laryngitis.

There are number functional and anatomical problems that can cause prolonged laryngitis such as: 
- otherwise silent reflux related changes, 
- vocal fold hemorrhage (broken blood vessels), 
- muscle tension dysphonia, 
- benign or malignant growths (especially if you are a smoker)

these can be diagnosed via a laryngoscopic exam performed by an otolaryngologist otherwise known as an ear nose and throat doctor. If your laryngitis persists, you may want to have your doctor recommend a specialist who has the tools to complete a more thorough exam.  Good luck!
