A member asked:
What medication can i take to clear my throat? i've had a cold for past two weeks, extremely congested, lots of phlegm in my throat.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thick phlegm : Plain Mucinex (guaifenesin) works nicely 2 pills two times a day. The package says one pill twice a day. The guiafenisin will thin the secretions. Good luck.
