Question 1

can you take 2 benadryls (diphenhydramine) and a mucinex melt?

Accepted Answer

You can at your age: Yes you can take this combination but be careful cause of sleepiness and tired feeling with benadryl (diphenhydramine).

Question 2

can i give childrens mucinex and zarbees cough and mucus together?

Accepted Answer

Nasal saline: Zarbees contains honey and this is often soothing and lessens cough. Nasal saline rinses may be as effective. Avoiding multiple over the counter medications taken together is advised. If you child does not improve, has respiratory difficulty or a fever for more than 2 days, please see your pediatrician.

Question 3

can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) mini melts with ho?

Accepted Answer

Mucinex (guaifenesin) and Water: Not only can water be taken with mucinex, (guaifenesin) but it really  should be taken with water, because the active component, guaifenicin actually works better when taken with lots of water.

Question 4

can my child take children mucinex nighttime while on risperidone?

Accepted Answer

Better avoid: Cold remedies with an antihistaminic included as diphenhydramine, which is the case with mucinex night time for children, if your child is on risperidone, you can ask your pharmacist, good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, wish you and your child wellness

Question 5

can i give my 4 year old children's mucinex (5ml) and children's advil together?

Accepted Answer

No interaction: Ibuprofen can be used to treat fever if your child is very uncomfortable; not every fever needs treating (even high fever if your child looks well).  I recommend avoiding cough preparations as they tend to have more side effects than beneficial effects.

Question 6

5 yr old coughing at night for 3 weeks. kids mucinex takes it away but don't want to keep giving it for so long. no other symptoms. no fevers.

Accepted Answer

Mgt: I would suggest an inbox consult and/or an appointment with your physician. The mucinex should be  stopped and the cause of the cough determined. If there is nasal congestion, a saline rinse may help to reduce post nasal drip.

Question 7

when i take mucinex (guaifenesin) mini melts can i have water at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Once melted: Yes, the medication works better with plenty of fluids, just be sure the "melt" has melted before you start drinking, .

Question 8

accidentally gave my four-year-old a double dose of childrens mucinex cough and cold. no symptoms so far, was given 15 minutes ago.

Accepted Answer

Should be ok: This is one reason the government advises against using cough and cold medicines in young children. The benefits are small, and sometimes kids get too much medicine. That said, a one-time double dose of such medications should be ok if the child does not take another dose for the next 12-24 hours. Temporarily, antihistamines may cause drowsiness, and decongestants may have a caffeine-like effect.

Question 9

can i give my son a dose of liquid mucinex (guaifenesin) and a packet of mucinex (guaifenesin) mini melts, or are they basically the same thing?

Accepted Answer

Same thing: Don't double up on any medicine, as an overdose can cause potentially serious problems.
