What wiill dry up phlegm from 94 year old mom? gobs of stringy, flimsy clear stuff. she takes bp & thyroid meds, 5 mg xanax (alprazolam) for mild dementia.

A lot of Xanax (alprazolam): That much xanax (alprazolam) could suppress respiration and contribute to eventual infection, ie, pneumonia with phlegm build up. An x-ray of chest and blood tests (white count and thyroid) might be indicated. If she is indeed on this much xanax (alprazolam), it should be reduced. Guafenicin can reduce phlegm and is generally safe. Check potential interactions.
