A doctor has provided 1 answer

Guaifenesin: Hello I am sorry to hear about your congestion. You could use Guaifenesin to treat your congestion. Guaifenesin increases the volume and reduces the viscosity of secretions. You might also heard of it called Mucinex (guaifenesin). You could take Guaifenesin 400 mg by mouth every 4 hours as needed. You could find it yourself or ask the pharmacist where the generic Guaifenesin is.
