A member asked:

What to do if i had mucinex (guaifenesin) and now i have a weird taste in the back of my throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinus infection: Mucinex (guaifenesin) might have thinned out mucus enough to let bacteria pass through from an underlying bacterial infection this would cause a weird taste in throat.

Does codeine expire? My 4 year old son has been dealing with a scratchy throat all day and the Mucinex (guaifenesin) did not work today. We have some codeine that my older son used two years ago. Is it okay to administer a small dosage to our 4 year old?
