A member asked:
Child has strep and mucousy cough can i give him mucinex (guaifenesin) with his antibiotic azythromycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be fine: There should be no interaction between mucinex (guaifenesin) and azithromycin. Just be sure to use supportive measures like fluids, humidifier, elevate the head of the bed and use vapor rub to help with the congestion as well.
