Question 1

If i took  mucinex (guaifenesin) fast max cold flu and sore throat about and hour ago. can i take nyquil now?

Accepted Answer

Both medicine had Tylenol (acetaminophen) in common, others are different class with different mechanism of action to control the sinus secretion and cough, it should be ok as long you take the recommended dose.

Hi. im 25 years it started with a sore throat. now my throat just feels itchy. it irritates my throat and ill start coughing like crazy. during my cough my chest starts to hurt. kinda feels like i need to catch my breath. ive tried advil, mucinex, therafl

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you describe sound like they might be caused by allergies to something in your indoor or outdoor environment (pollens, dust, grass, pet fur/dander, etc).  You might also have some reactive airway disease exacerbated by the same.  Examine your environment for potential allergens and try to eliminate exposure to them.  If this does not resolve, seek further medical evaluation/treatment.

Question 3

Is mucinex (guaifenesin) cough cold and sore throat cough syrup ok to give to my 3 yr old?

Accepted Answer

Cough in young children is extremely frustrating for parents. Unfortunately cough medications used in adults don't work in children. Decongestants in combination with cough medications can actually be harmful. 
Using guafenesin may be helpful to help secretions stay loose. Increasing fluid intake and humidity in the air can definitely help. Honey (for kids over 12 months) may be a natural remedy.

Accepted Answer

You should consult the doctor who prescribed Venlafaxine. It would help to lose weight, not easy, but essential.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

You maybe getting a sinus infection.  Give it a day or so and if it doesn't get better then get it checked out.

Question 6

Is abuterol safe to give with this type of mucinex medicine? will breathing treatments be beneficial at this point? treating my daughter with mucinex- cough, cold & sore throat medicine since yesterday (2/17/12). her cough was tight and is now breaking-up

Accepted Answer

Number one question one must ask is what is your daughter`s diagnosis. If she has asthma she needs to be on maintenance medication instead of just albuterol ( albuterol is considered a rescue medication in inhaler or nebulizer form and is not a substitute for controller medication). Mucinex (guaifenesin) may or may not help depending on underlying reasons for her cough, exacerbating/aggravating factors for her cough and underlying diagnosis.

Question 7

Can u take mucinex (guaifenesin) if u suffer from runny nose or blocked nose and sore throat only ?

Accepted Answer

Guaifenesin (mucinex) helps bring up mucus. It may help with your nose. However, irrigating your nose with saline is going to be much more effective. If it is an acute problem, you may take oxymetazoline nasal spray every 12 hours for 5 days, after irrigating your nose. You can also rinse your mouth with saline. If your problem lasts longer, see a physician.

Question 8

Dx viral pharyngitis prescription mucinex (guaifenesin) & flonase. draining today earache sore throat and 101.2 temp. still have fever body aches.  advice? baby has cold too

Accepted Answer

With a fever and "draining" (I'm assuming your ear?), I would recommend you see your doc or go to an urgent care clinic for a proper physical examination, including an examination of the ear, surrounding structures, and your nose and throat. It is possible you may require antibiotics. Your baby may need to be seen too.

Question 9

I'm allergic to dust mites and get a lot of mucus in throat and sore throats is there any medicine that can help these symptoms? i already tried taking mucinex, claritin, veramyst nasal spray, and a saline nose rinse and nothing is helping at all.  also,

Accepted Answer

How do you know you are allergic? If the exposure is alot, medication may not help. There may be other issues going on causing your symptoms. Have you spoken to an allergist and have you considered allergy shots?

Question 10

Started with chest/nasal congestion and sore throat when swallowing 2 days ago. started mucinex/claritin. woke up this a.m. with a lot of phlegm being coughed up and it tastes extremely foul and bitter. what causes terrible tasting phlegm? infection?

Accepted Answer

New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen)can temporarily decrease pain.
