A member asked:
Minor cough itchy throat started last week after i took expectorant/cough suppressant combination medicine to loosen mucus. did the medicine cause it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it.: You took the med because you began to have symptoms and thus the worsening is a progression of whatever started your coughing in the first place. If the duration is over 2 weeks or the problem is worsening, see your family doc.
