A member asked:
Excessive nasal drainage and corresponding cough to go with it.. what's the best plan of action to be better in 24 hours for my acts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Manage symptoms: Saline nasal rinses, hydration and Mucinex can help to clear mucous. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can reduce drainage but would not use it during day as it is sedating and affect mental performance. Honey and dextromethorphin can reduce the cough. Sudafed can treat the congestion. Good luck on the test.
