Question 2

What is hydromet syrup used to treat? having hard time finding it to read up on.

Accepted Answer

It is pretty much the same as Hycodan (hydrocodone) or tussionex - a cough syrup containing gaufenisin, the most common kind of heavy cough syrup which is supposed to help liquify sputum to make it easier to get out, and contains a Codeine derivative - dihydrocodeine - which is a cough suppressant.  It is more useful with dry, non-productive coughs or to decrease cough when it is keeping you awake at night.

Question 3

Is hydromet syrup a decongestant?

Accepted Answer

Hydromet contains both a cough suppressant and an agent that reduces mucous which may be exactly what you need but it won't unblock a stuffy nose so technically it's not a decongestant.  Phenylephrine and Pseudoephedrine are the only oral decongestant ingredients available in the US.

Question 6

Can i take delsym (dextromethorphan) 12 hour cough syrup during the day, and then my prescribed hydromet cough syrup at night? i want to make sure this is fine to do.

Accepted Answer

Suppressing a cough is not always the correct treatment. Your cough needs to be diagnosed before it can be properly treated. Possible etiologies for your cough include acute bronchitis, bronchospasm from any cause, gerd, post-nasal drip or a combination of factors. See your doctor so your cough can be diagnosed and treated. If you smoke, you need to quit asap!

Question 7

How long does a cough from acute bronchitis last? i have already seen my doctor and been given hydromet syrup to control the cough.

Accepted Answer

The term "acute bronchitis" is a description of a problem, not a diagnosis.  It could be viral, or a complication of smoking, or a mycoplasma infection, or asthma.  It may take more than one visit to tell if your cough lasts more than two weeks.  And young adults are susceptible to pertussis (whooping cough), which can last 3 months.  Did you get your pertussis vaccine?
